Weekly and monthly earnings goals
Updated September 22, 2026
Weekly or monthly targets
The Goals tab tracks how much you earn toward one overall target: a total amount by a date. You create a goal with a name, how much you need, a target date, a tracking period of Weekly or Monthly, and a progress metric. The metric is either total earnings (net tips plus wages) or net tips only. Weekly or monthly is the pace toward that total, not a separate goal for each period. Home can also start the same wizard from the goals scroller.
How progress is counted
Progress is the sum, on shifts whose clock-in falls in the goal’s start and end dates, of whichever metric you picked. Total earnings are net tips plus wages. Net tips only leaves wages out. Tips you have not logged, and wages not stored on those shifts, do not count toward the metric that uses them.
The card can show ahead of pace, on track, or behind pace by comparing progress to how far you are through the date range (about 10 percentage points either side of the expected share). Days remaining use the goal’s end date.
A weekly target in numbers
A goal to earn $800, paced weekly, still measures the $800. The current week has its own pace. On a week whose pace is $800, with three of seven days elapsed, the expected share of that week is about 43%, or roughly $343. Log $300 that week and you are near 38% of the week's pace. That sits inside about 10 percentage points, so the card reads On track. Log $150 and you are near 19%, more than 10 points behind, so the card reads Behind pace. Log $450 and you are near 56%, more than 10 points ahead, so the card reads Ahead of pace. None of those marks the $800 goal reached.
Switch the metric to net tips only and wages drop out of that comparison. The same shifts can look on track for total earnings and behind for tips, or the other way around, because the two numbers are not the same pile of money. The goal does not invent unlogged nights to close the gap.
Active, reached, archived
Active goals sit on the Goals tab and on Home. The goal is reached when cumulative earnings hit the overall amount, not when one week or month of pace is met. Meeting the pace keeps the goal active and shows whether you are ahead, on pace, or behind. You can archive a reached goal, expand the archive to read it, edit a goal’s details, or delete it. None of that changes the underlying shifts. A deadline that passes under the total leaves the goal active.
A tip-heavy week and a wage-heavy week
Two Server shifts — six hours with $210 in tips and a $40 tip-out, then five hours with $90 in tips and a $20 tip-out, both at $8/hour — are $88 in wages, $240 in net tips, and $328 total. Most of that week is tips you kept.
Two Hostess shifts — five hours with $22 in tips, then four hours with $8 in tips, both at $15/hour and no tip-out — are $135 in wages, $30 in tips, and $165 total. Most of that week is the wage. A goal set to net tips only is a poor fit for the host stand and a closer fit for the server week. A goal set to total earnings counts both. The app will not switch the metric for you.
Goals do not change the math
A goal does not estimate unlogged nights or apply a tip-out for you. If take-home looks high, check that Total Tip-Out is recorded on those shifts. For the earnings formula, see hourly rate with tips.
