How to use Economic Order Quantity Calculator
Continuous EOQ is sqrt(2DS/H). Compare ordering plus holding cost DS/Q+HQ/2 at adjacent positive whole quantities.
- Enter annual unit demand, cost per order, annual holding cost per unit.
- Check the model, units, and supported limits before calculating.
- Run the tool, inspect the result, then copy or download it.
Good to know
- Positive annual demand, cost per order, and annual holding cost per unit. Stationary demand, no shortages or quantity discounts. Whole quantity must be a safe integer.
- Runs locally. Numeric inputs are bounded; floating-point output is approximate and rounded to 12 significant digits. Unsupported or non-finite calculations produce an error.
- Educational user-assumption arithmetic only. No live rates, tax rules, financial advice, or outcome guarantees.
