1. What is Sales Per Hour (SPH)?

Sales Per Hour (SPH) is a key performance metric that measures the amount of sales generated per hour of operation. It helps businesses evaluate efficiency and productivity of their sales operations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the SPH formula:

\[ SPH = \frac{\text{Sales}}{\text{Running Hours}} \]

Where:

\( Sales \) — Total sales amount in dollars
\( Running Hours \) — Total operational hours

Explanation: The equation calculates how much revenue is generated for each hour the business is operating.

3. Importance of SPH Calculation

Details: SPH is crucial for businesses to measure operational efficiency, identify peak performance periods, optimize staffing, and improve overall sales strategy.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter total sales in dollars and total running hours in hours. Both values must be valid (sales ≥ 0, hours > 0).

A: A good SPH value varies by industry and business type. It's best to compare against your historical performance or industry benchmarks.

Q2: How can I improve my SPH?

Q3: Should I include all hours or only business hours?

Q4: Can SPH be used for service businesses?
