Expert Tip

A GMROI above 1.0 means you sold inventory for more than its cost. A target ratio of 3.2 is considered very strong in retail.

How this Calculator Works

GMROI measures a retailer's ability to turn inventory into cash above the cost of that inventory. It is calculated by dividing gross profit by average inventory cost.

Formula & Methodology

GMROI Ratio = Gross Profit / Average Inventory Cost GMROI Percentage = GMROI Ratio * 100

Step-by-Step Calculation Example

Here is a step-by-step example showing how the calculations are performed:

If Gross Profit = $45,000 and Average Inventory Cost = $15,000: - GMROI Ratio = $45,000 / $15,000 = 3.0 - GMROI % = 3.0 * 100 = 300%

FAQ

What is a healthy LTV to CAC ratio for subscription businesses?
A target LTV:CAC ratio of 3:1 or higher is generally considered healthy for SaaS and subscription models, indicating sustainable marketing ROI without overspending on acquisition.
How is the Break-even point calculated?
Break-even Units = Fixed Costs / (Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit). It determines the sales volume required to cover total operational expenses without profit or loss.
Can online business calculators replace professional financial auditing?
No. These calculators provide strategic modeling and decision support. Formal financial reporting, tax planning, and GAAP/IFRS audits require a certified public accountant (CPA) or financial advisor.
