720 net units sold from 1,000 units available leaves 280 units and gives a 72.00% sell-through rate.

RETAIL / ASSORTMENT MOVEMENT
Measure units sold as a share of units available for sale for one documented product scope and selling period.
METHOD / WORKED EXAMPLE
Measure units sold as a share of units available for sale for one documented product scope and selling period. The workspace preserves the input basis because similarly named operating metrics can use different periods, valuation methods, and classifications.
WORKED DEFAULT
720 net units sold from 1,000 units available leaves 280 units and gives a 72.00% sell-through rate.
READ THE RESULT
Higher sell-through indicates more of the bounded available assortment sold, but does not alone show margin, demand quality, lost sales, or replenishment need.
ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITS
Comparisons require the same availability definition, product lifecycle stage, markdown policy, and selling interval.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Use one entity, currency, reporting period, accounting basis, and classification policy across every input. Sold and available units share one SKU scope, channel, and period. Returns, cancellations, transfers, and receipts follow one documented policy. Reconcile the figures to the same ledger, inventory system, or operating report. A correct formula can still mislead when gross and net amounts, timing, returns, taxes, freight, or acquisition boundaries differ.
Higher sell-through indicates more of the bounded available assortment sold, but does not alone show margin, demand quality, lost sales, or replenishment need. Treat the output as one defined indicator and compare it only across consistently prepared periods. Product mix, seasonality, acquisitions, inflation, channel shifts, credit terms, write-offs, inventory methods, and management estimates can change the result without representing the same underlying operating movement.
No. This educational calculator applies disclosed arithmetic to supplied values; it is not an audit, forecast, valuation, inventory count, accounting conclusion, lending decision, or investment recommendation. Comparisons require the same availability definition, product lifecycle stage, markdown policy, and selling interval. Retain the source records, document the definition, test alternative assumptions, reconcile material differences, and obtain qualified review before relying on the result.

Use boundary
Define one assortment and period, reconcile net sold units and available units, then divide sold units by available units.
Sell-through rate = net units sold / units available for sale x 100%.
