Supplier basket threshold calculator

See how much more you need to order to reach a supplier minimum and whether a candidate medicine line gets the basket there.

Threshold reached

Why basket thresholds change the cheapest option

An isolated line may look cheaper with one supplier but create an unusable or inefficient order if the basket does not meet that supplier's commercial minimum. Basket optimisation therefore needs to consider the existing order value as well as the candidate item's price.

Commercial terms vary. Enter the current threshold from your own supplier account or contract rather than assuming the example value shown here applies to your practice.

What the calculator does

It multiplies the candidate pack price by quantity, adds that to the current basket and shows the remaining gap or amount above the threshold. It does not model delivery charges, rebates, discounts, stock availability or scheme terms.
