# Inventory Valuation

> Total inventory value broken down by location

The **Inventory Valuation** report summarises how much inventory you're holding and what it's worth, per location.

**Key columns**: location, total quantity, total cost value, total retail value, and SKU count.

* **Total cost value** is what your stock cost you (based on each item's unit cost)
* **Total retail value** is what it would sell for at current prices

**When to use it**: for accounting, insurance, or period-end snapshots, and to see where your capital is concentrated across locations.

<Tip>
  Cost values depend on unit costs being set. The [Health Check](/user-guide/health-check) can flag and fix missing costs.
