# How to set up Daily Target

**In this guide:** Turn monthly operating costs and desired profit into a practical sales target for each business day.

## Steps

1. Open **Settings**.
2. Select **Daily Target & Light Setup**.
3. Add each recurring monthly operating expense, such as rent, payroll, utilities, insurance, and subscriptions.
4. Enter the **Desired monthly profit**.
5. Choose the number of **Business days per month** that the location is normally open.
6. Review the calculated Monthly Expenses, Monthly Target, and Daily Sales Target.
7. Choose Compact navigation view or Full register view.
8. Select **Save**.
9. Return to the main screen and verify that Daily Target appears as expected.

## How the target is calculated

**(Monthly expenses + desired monthly profit) ÷ business days = daily sales target**

Example: $20,000 in expenses plus $5,000 desired profit, divided by 25 business days, creates a $1,000 daily target.

## Tip

Use realistic monthly amounts and review them whenever rent, payroll, subscriptions, operating days, or profit expectations change.
