Average Check Size Calculator

About this calculator

Average check size (also called average ticket or average transaction value) divides a business's total sales over a period by the number of checks, receipts, or transactions rung up, giving the typical amount a customer spends per visit. This calculator performs that straightforward division for you.

It's one of the most-watched metrics in restaurants, bars, and retail, because it's a direct lever on revenue independent of foot traffic — managers track it to measure whether upselling, menu changes, or combo promotions are working, and compare it against labor and food cost percentages to judge overall profitability per table or per customer served.
