Inventory safety buffer calculator online

Safety stock = z × daily-demand standard deviation × √lead-time. Use this to calculate a stated mathematical relationship from your own explicit assumptions. Units and input order are part of the calculation; no changing external rates or laws are inferred.

How to use it

Enter 3 comma-separated numbers in this order: service multiplier z, demand standard deviation per day, lead time days. Choose Calculate. Review the output, then copy or download it.

Limitations and common mistakes

Assumes independent daily demand and fixed lead time. Supply your own service multiplier; it is not selected automatically.
Combined input is bounded to 150,000 characters; output text is bounded to 1.2 million characters. Some algorithms impose smaller limits, stated in their error messages.
Use a dot as the decimal separator and commas or spaces between numeric entries. The calculation uses floating-point arithmetic unless exact integers are explicitly stated.
