How this estimate works

The result uses the formula below. Check the measurements, unit setting, and applicable carrier or supplier rule before using it.

EOQ = √(2 × annual demand × order cost ÷ annual holding cost per unit)

The classic EOQ model assumes steady demand, stable costs, immediate replenishment, and no stockouts or quantity discounts.

This calculator is a planning aid, not a carrier quotation, engineering assessment, or professional advice. Verify critical figures against current supplier and carrier documentation.
