Store Capacity Calculator
Every square foot of selling space has an inventory number it’s supposed to carry. Enter your store’s footprint and see whether you’re over-stocked, under-stocked, or right in the pocket.
Your Store
Everything under your roof — sales floor, stockroom, back office, restroom.
sq ft
What percent of your store is actual selling floor (not stockroom or office)?
If you’re not sure, 60–80% is a common starting point.
%
How much inventory (at cost) per selling sq ft do you want to carry?
A common starting point for independent shops is around $75, but it
varies a lot by category — jewelry and apparel run very differently.
Adjust to your world.
