Inventory turnover

How many times you sell through and replace your stock over a period, usually a year.

Inventory turnover = cost of goods sold ÷ average inventory value

If your cost of goods sold for the year was $120,000 and you held $30,000 of stock on average, you turned your inventory 4 times, or roughly every 91 days. Higher turnover generally means less cash sitting on shelves, as long as you aren't running out.
