Markdown & Clearance Calendar Planner

Stop discounting reactively at month-end. Plan markdowns on a calendar, tied to how long stock has actually been sitting — and protect margin instead of leaking it.

What's inside (Excel / Google Sheets, 4 tabs):

• Aging & Markdown Rule — a default markdown-by-age schedule (0–30 / 31–60 / 61–90 / 91–120 / 121+ days) you can edit to match your category's sell-through speed
• 12-Month Clearance Calendar — log what's scheduled to go on clearance each month, at what discount, and the margin recovery estimate
• Margin Recovery Tracker — log actual clearance sales after the fact to see whether your markdown depth is calling it right
• Start Here — a plain-English walkthrough of how to use the workbook
