How to use the Sales Target Calculator
- Enter the target and the sales achieved so far.
- Enter the working days in the period and how many have passed.
Formula
Achievement % = Achieved ÷ Target × 100
Required per day = (Target − Achieved) ÷ Days left
Projection = (Achieved ÷ Days elapsed) × Total days
Required run rate vs current run rate
The current run rate is what you've averaged per working day so far. The required run rate is what you must average from now on. If the required rate is well above the current one, the plan needs to change early — more leads, a promotion or a push on high-value accounts — not in the last week.
Worked example
₹10 lakh target, ₹3.8 lakh after 12 of 26 working days
- Achieved = 38%
- Needed = 6,20,000 ÷ 14 = ₹44,286 a day
- Current pace = ₹31,667 a day → projected ₹8,23,333
Off track: daily sales must rise by about 40%
Frequently asked questions
Should I count weekends and holidays?
Use working days if sales happen only on working days; use calendar days for businesses that sell every day.
How do I set a realistic target?
Start from past sales for the same period, adjust for trends and planned activity, and check it covers your break-even point plus profit goal.
