About Daily Sales Target Calculator

Dividing a monthly target evenly across trading days sets weekday targets that are unreachable and weekend targets that are trivially met. Weighting by observed weekend uplift produces daily targets that are meaningful for staffing and for store-level accountability.

Formulas

Weighted day total

Weight total = Weekday days + Weekend days x (1 + Uplift %)

Weekday target

Weekday target = Monthly target / Weight total

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the uplift factor come from?

From your own trading history — the ratio of average weekend day sales to average weekday sales over the last several months.

Should the target vary within the week too?

For accuracy yes. Many retailers use a seven-day index so that Monday and Friday carry different weights.
