About Sales Velocity For Project Calculator

Sales velocity is the number of units sold per month, and dividing remaining inventory by it gives the sell-out period. This is the figure that drives a developer's cash flow model: a slower velocity extends the marketing period, holds finance costs longer and can turn a profitable appraisal into a loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Sales Velocity For Project figure worked out?

Months remaining = units remaining / units sold per month. Sales velocity is the number of units sold per month, and dividing remaining inventory by it gives the sell-out period.

Is velocity constant through a launch?

No. It is usually highest at launch on pre-launch demand, dips through the middle and picks up near completion when buyers can see the finished product. A flat rate averages that pattern.

What values do I need to enter?

This calculator takes 3 inputs: Total units in the project, Units sold per month, Months of sales to date. The pre-filled defaults are a realistic worked example — replace them with your own site or project figures.
