An automatic analyzer for analyzing a specimen includes an estimating unit that estimates, based on history information of an analysis period corresponding to a period required for upcoming analysis, a usage quantity of the reagent for the upcoming analysis by calculating a product of a usage quantity of a reagent specified in an analysis item in the history information and a specimen count in the analysis period. The analyzer also includes an upcoming-remaining-quantity calculating unit that calculates a post-upcoming-analysis reagent remaining quantity by subtracting the usage quantity of an estimated reagent from the current reagent remaining quantity.
