Illustrative estimate only. Idle stock may still be usable or saleable; actual costs and recoverable cash will differ. Idle value = stock value × idle share. Annual cost = idle value × holding rate; monthly cost = annual cost ÷ 12. Currency selection changes formatting, not exchange rates. Your figures stay in this browser unless you share them. SCMSigma offers a 7-day trial.
