← Walmart Marketplace calculator
Sellers search this after leftover units sit in a Walmart fulfillment center and aged storage starts billing. The main calculator’s WFS vs seller table assumes you are about to inbound a fresh unit, so it cannot show whether pulling a pile that is already there still beats waiting. Inbound, past storage, and cost of goods are already spent. Aged storage is a higher per-cubic-foot rate on what is still sitting.
On the default 40 leftover $24.99 home units, 12% monthly sell-through still leaves a removal $338.35 ahead of keeping them in WFS over 4 months ($599.66 vs $261.31). Disposing loses $14.00. About 16 of the 40 units sell if you wait; the rest keep paying aged storage. Keeping matches if monthly sell-through rises to about 41.3%. At 55% sell-through WFS keeps $55.50 more.
| Path | Sold | Still sitting | Carrying | Cash | vs keep |

Keep leftover is monthly sell-through × WFS contribution (sale − referral − pick) minus aged storage on what is still sitting. A removal pays the removal fee, then keeps the seller-fulfilled leftover on every unit. Dispose pays the disposal fee and the units are gone. Inbound, past storage, and cost of goods are sunk. Complementary to WFS vs seller fulfilled (a new inbound), to 2-day vs WFS (take rate), and to returns vs WFS (a sold order that comes back), and to Walmart Connect vs skip (ad spend, not leftover units). Paste the leftover count, aged rate, and removal fee from your current Seller Center preview. This page does not publish Walmart’s live fulfillment schedule.
The calculator is arithmetic, not advice. It does not recommend a removal, a hold, or a disposal.
On the calculator defaults — 40 leftover $24.99 home units, 15% referral, standard WFS fulfillment, a $4.50 seller label, $0.50 prep, 12% monthly sell-through, 4 months, $2.10/cu ft aged storage, a $1.25 removal, and a $0.35 disposal — pulling them and selling seller fulfilled keeps $338.35 more than leaving them in WFS ($599.66 vs $261.31). Disposing loses $14.00. Keeping matches if monthly sell-through rises to about 41.3%. At 55% sell-through WFS keeps $55.50 more. This page does the arithmetic from the rates you enter; it does not recommend a removal.
No. The main calculator compares a completed sale on a unit you are about to inbound. This page treats inbound, past storage, and cost of goods as already spent, then mixes aged storage on what is still sitting with the leftover you keep if you pull the pile and ship it yourself. Returns are a different mix: a sold order that comes back, not a unit that never sold.
When monthly sell-through is high enough that WFS contribution minus aged storage beats a removal plus your own label. On these defaults that floor is about 41.3%. A 55% sell-through flips WFS ahead by $55.50 over 4 months. Replace the leftover count, sell-through, aged rate, and removal fee from your current Seller Center preview.
