Methodology

How this calculator works

Projects inventory growth at a monthly rate and shows the absolute increase over the selected horizon.

Future inventory = current inventory × (1 + monthly growth rate) ^ months.

Use the result

Turn the number into a decision

Use peak inventory rather than an annual average when sizing warehouse capacity, and model seasonal profiles separately.

Use this result when facility, supply-chain, and engineering teams are comparing layouts, growth plans, expansion, or relocation options.

Run at least three scenarios—conservative, expected, and upside—so one optimistic assumption does not drive the project.
