MarginKoala defines this calculator explicitly as units sold ÷ units received in the same period. Other retail systems can use beginning or available inventory instead, so compare only like definitions.

Used only for the weekly sales pace.

Koala's Calculated Result
Receipts-based sell-through, with no artificial 100% cap.

The detailed explanation will appear here once the calculator has a result.

There is no universal good sell-through percentage across products, seasons and replenishment models. Compare this definition with your own history, buying plan and stock risk.

Definition and method

What this calculator answers

Compare units sold with units received in the same period. The result can exceed 100% when sales also draw on opening inventory.

Receipts-based sell-through

Sell-through = units sold ÷ units received in the same period under this calculator’s explicit receipts-based definition.

Worked example: your figures

The interactive result above is the worked example. Change any input and the same deterministic engine recomputes the answer; this page does not insert a generic example business or silently treat example values as a benchmark.

  • No market benchmark or outcome is silently inserted by this page.

Frequently asked questions

What is sell-through rate?

Sell-through rate is the share of inventory you received that actually sold in the same period — units sold ÷ units received. A 60% sell-through means 40% of the stock is left to clear, finance, or carry.

Sell-Through Rate

What's a healthy sell-through rate?

There is no universal numeric benchmark for this decision. The right comparison depends on the industry, geography, business model, time period and exact metric definition. Use the business’s own history, economics and explicit target unless a verified benchmark matching that scope is available.

Sell-Through Rate

How is sell-through different from sell-through velocity?

Sell-through answers "what % of stock moved?" Velocity (covered by stock-cover-weeks) answers "how quickly is stock moving at the current rate?" The two together paint the full picture — sell-through at a point in time, and pace on top of it.

Sell-Through Rate

What if I had zero inventory received this period?

The calculator returns a "no stock received" note — without stock received, the rate is undefined. Use the carrying-cost or stock-cover-weeks calculators instead for a coverage-based read on the stock you already own.
