Enter your monthly fixed costs, the profit you want, your average gross margin, the days you trade and your average bill value. See the sales you need each month and each day.
Monthly sales target = (fixed costs + target profit) ÷ (gross margin ÷ 100).
Daily target = monthly target ÷ trading days.
Bills per day = daily target ÷ average bill value (rounded up).
