Free Shopify Dead Stock Recovery Calculator

Estimate retail value at risk and planning scenarios for slow-moving inventory — before you launch recovery offers or run store-wide clearance.

Your inputs

Defaults reflect a mid-size Shopify store with moderate slow-stock exposure. Adjust to match your catalog — results update instantly.

SKUs with low recent sales vs units on hand — start with your worst 10–20 if unsure.
Average quantity sitting in inventory per slow SKU (not total catalog units).
Average retail price of those slow SKUs before discounts — not cost of goods.
Paid Shopify orders per month — recovery offers only reach carts that checkout.
Share of monthly orders where a customer accepts the slow-stock add-on. Planning range: 1–5%.
Discount on the add-on SKU only — StockLift scopes codes to the slow item, not the whole cart.

Estimated results

Conservative planning math — not a revenue guarantee. Use these numbers to prioritize which slow SKUs deserve recovery offers first.

  • Retail value at risk$6,960

    Exposure if slow units never sell at full retail — not profit, COGS, or guaranteed recovery.

  • Est. accepted add-ons / month15

    Monthly orders × attach rate. One accepted add-on = one potential slow unit moved.

  • Est. gross recovery (before discount)$435

    Accepted add-ons × average retail price, before the scoped add-on discount.

  • Est. recovery after discount$370

    Gross recovery minus your add-on discount — still a planning estimate, not a forecast.

  • Est. units moved / month15

    Same as accepted add-ons here — assumes one slow unit per accepted offer.

Suggested action: Prioritize your top 5 slow SKUs and test cart add-ons with scoped discounts.
