📦 Ending Inventory Calculator
Calculate the value of inventory remaining at the end of a period using beginning inventory, purchases, and cost of goods sold.
What is ending inventory?
Ending inventory is the dollar value of the goods a business still has on hand at the close of an accounting period. It appears on the balance sheet as a current asset and feeds directly into next period’s beginning inventory.
The formula
Ending Inventory = Beginning Inventory + Purchases − Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). Beginning inventory plus everything purchased during the period gives the total goods available for sale; subtracting what was actually sold (at cost) leaves what remains.
Enter your beginning inventory, purchases, and COGS for the period to calculate ending inventory. This tool assumes accurate cost figures are already known and is for general bookkeeping education, not a substitute for a full inventory count or professional accounting.
