How it works

Inventory carrying cost in this calculator is capital, warehouse, markdown and insurance / 12. With 80000 stock USD, 8 capital %, 6 warehouse %, 4 markdown %, 1 ins. % the result is $1,266.67/mo | $15,200.00 yr.

annual = stock × (capital+warehouse+markdown+insurance)/100. month = annual/12. The formula uses capital and markdown.

$1,266.67/mo | $15,200.00 yr is not a WMS. Another set of numbers gives $493.33/mo | $5,920.00 yr, and a further set gives $2,900.00/mo | $34,800.00 yr. Empty scenario fields do not change the result.
