Inventory Days measures supply chain efficiency by dividing inventory holdings by total product costs and multiplying by period days.

Formula & Methodology

Inventory Days = (Average Inventory / COGS) * Days

Step-by-Step Calculation Example

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

If Average Inventory = $15,000, COGS = $90,000, and Period = 365 Days: - Inventory Days = ($15,000 / $90,000) * 365 = 60.83 days

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.
