Set a Monthly Revenue Target to manage your annual income
By StyleSeat Editorial Team · Updated October 12, 2026
It’s the 24th, and you’re doing math in your head between clients. If Friday fills up, and that lash fill books, maybe the month lands where you wanted. Maybe not.
You have a number in mind. Most professionals do. It’s never written down anywhere, so you can’t see how close you are until the month is almost over.
StyleSeat’s Monthly Revenue Target gives that number a home. You set a dollar goal, and you watch the percentage fill up as the month goes on.
How the feature works
- You set one dollar goal for the month and see a live percentage of progress toward it.
- The target carries over. It stays from month to month, and progress resets on the 1st.
- You stay in control. Edit the number or remove it whenever you like.
- Turn the goal into visits: an $8,000 goal at an $80 average service is 100 appointments, about 23 a week.
A goal you can see changes how you work the month
The Monthly Revenue Target is a number you choose and a bar that moves. You pick a dollar amount, and StyleSeat shows how much of it you’ve earned so far this month.
Because the target persists, you don’t re-enter it every month. On the 1st, your progress resets and the same goal is waiting. If the number stops fitting your life, change it or remove it.
Pick the number with a formula, not a guess
The right goal depends on your prices and your hours, so run the math on your own book. Divide your goal by your average service price to get appointments. Then divide by the weeks in the month.
| Step | Example |
|---|---|
| Monthly goal | $8,000 |
| Average service price | $80 |
| Appointments needed (goal ÷ price) | 100 |
| Per week (÷ 4.3) | About 23 |
If you set your goal as what lands in your account, fold in tips. Assuming a 20% tip, an $80 service becomes $96. Then $8,000 takes about 84 visits instead of 100.
The part nobody puts on a spreadsheet
Behind every revenue number is a person who wants something specific. Maybe it’s a down payment, a studio of your own, or a month that finally feels easy. The number is only a stand-in for that.
When you can see 62% on a Wednesday, you make small, real decisions. You say yes to the Saturday request. You send the rebook text you were putting off. Your craft doesn’t change, but your attention does.
Who this is for
If you’re building your book, the target shows you how many new and returning clients the month needs. It turns “I need more clients” into a number you can act on.
If your book is already full, you can’t add hours. Your lever is what each hour earns. That’s where SmartPricing comes in: it raises prices on your busiest slots.
Professionals who use SmartPricing average $385 a year in extra service revenue, and the busiest tenth clear $1,000+. StyleSeat takes about 5.5% of a smart-priced service, and that average is a measured figure rather than a promise.
