Turn your costs into a clear, realistic sales goal. Enter your fixed costs, gross margin and the profit you want, and this planner works out your break-even point plus practical monthly and daily sales targets.
How to use
- Enter all your monthly fixed costs: rent, salaries, utilities, loan installment and other fixed costs.
- Enter your average gross margin percent (roughly, what percent of each sale is left after the cost of the goods).
- Enter the monthly net profit you want to earn and how many days you open the shop each month.
- Optionally add your average sale value to see how many sales per day you need.
- Your break-even, monthly target and daily target update instantly.
Note
This tool uses simple break-even math: required sales = fixed costs plus target profit, divided by your gross margin. It assumes your margin stays steady across products. For a mixed shop, use a weighted average margin across your best-selling items.
