Frequently asked questions

What is sales volume?

The number of units sold, as opposed to the money they bring in. This calculator shows how a percentage change in volume moves the unit count.

Why track volume separately from revenue?

Because price and volume can move in opposite directions. Selling more units at a discount can lift volume while revenue stalls, and you only spot that by watching both.

How do I read a negative result?

A negative percentage shrinks the volume, showing how many units you would lose. Useful for modelling the effect of a supply problem or a weaker season.

Does this account for price?

No, it is purely a unit count. Pair it with the Price Change Impact calculator to see how price and volume interact on revenue.

Who uses volume figures?

Operations and supply-chain teams especially, since they plan production and stock around units, not dollars.
