# Inventory Stats

> The four stat cards above your inventory table and what each one means.

## Overview

Four stat cards sit above the inventory table. They give you a snapshot of your current inventory position — what you've spent, what it's worth on the market, and how many units you're managing.

## The Four Cards

| Card                | What it shows                                              |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Inventory Cost**  | Total amount you've spent acquiring your current inventory |
| **Inventory Value** | Total listed price of all currently listed inventory       |
| **Total Items**     | Number of unique items in your catalog                     |
| **Total Listed**    | Number of units currently with Listed status               |

## Inventory Cost

This is the sum of the **cost** field across all active inventory items (Unlisted and Listed units). It represents how much capital you currently have tied up in inventory.

<Note>
  Sold units are excluded from Inventory Cost. Once a unit is sold, its cost moves into your profit calculation instead.
</Note>

## Inventory Value

This is the sum of all **listed prices** across your Listed units. It represents what your inventory is theoretically worth at current asking prices — the potential revenue if everything sells at listed price.

**Inventory Value > Inventory Cost** = you're positioned for profit.

## Total Items

The count of unique items in your inventory, regardless of status or number of units. An item with 3 sizes counts as 1 item.

## Total Listed

The number of individual units currently Listed (actively for sale). This is different from Total Items — an item with 3 Listed units counts as 3 here.

## How Stats Respond to Filters

The stat cards respond to the date filter — they show values for items acquired within the selected date range. Remove the date filter to see all-time inventory stats.

<Tip>
  Compare Inventory Cost to Inventory Value regularly. If they're close together, your margins are thin. A healthy spread means you're pricing for strong profit.
