Weeks of supply: Definition, Formula & Why It Matters

Also called: Weeks of cover

Weeks of supply estimates how many weeks your current inventory will last at your recent sales pace: current units divided by average weekly units sold. It is the weekly companion to days-to-sell and is useful for planning reorders.

Weeks of supply formula

Weeks of supply = current units ÷ average weekly units sold

Example

60 units on hand selling 8 per week is 7.5 weeks of supply.

Why it matters for Reverb sellers

Weeks of supply tells you whether you have enough stock to cover demand until your next purchase arrives. Ideally it slightly exceeds your supplier lead time so you do not run out while waiting.
