Reorder Point
Lead-Time Demand

How It Works (Formula & Method)

The reorder point is the demand you expect during the supplier lead time plus a safety-stock buffer for variability: (daily demand × lead time) + safety stock. Placing an order when stock hits this level avoids stockouts while the replenishment is in transit.

Worked Example

Below is a worked example using the calculator's default values. The same numbers are pre-filled in the form above so you can press Calculate and see the result without typing anything.

Inputs used:

  • Average Daily Demand (units): 20
  • Lead Time (days): 7
  • Safety Stock (units): 30

With these inputs, the calculator computes the metrics shown in the Results panel. Change any value and press Calculate again to see how the result responds — the live widget and the chart both update instantly.
