The formula

Days of cover = available FBA units ÷ daily sales velocity, where velocity = units sold in the last 30 days ÷ 30.

Sample: 600 units in FBA, 450 units sold in 30 days → 15/day → 40 days of cover.

Thresholds Selario uses

  • Under 21 days — critical: “Low stock”.
  • Under 60 days — low: “Reorder soon”.
  • No sales in 30 days: no estimate.

Pick your own targets from supplier lead time + shipping + FBA check-in time, plus a buffer.

Watch out for TikTok spikes

A video that takes off can lift Amazon sales too, so a 30-day average lags. Keep an eye on Ripple and the TikTok Shop stock side.
