How to Calculate Daily Profit in a Kenyan Shop

A simple daily profit guide for shops, mini-marts, salons, restaurants and small traders in Kenya.

Daily profit is the money left after subtracting business expenses from sales. For a Kenyan shop, this usually includes cash sales, M-PESA sales, supplier payments, stock purchases and operating costs.

Start with total sales

Add together all sales made during the day, including cash, M-PESA, bank and card payments.

Subtract daily expenses

Record rent, transport, airtime, wages, packaging, stock purchases and supplier payments. These reduce your actual profit.

Check your balances

At closing time, compare expected cash, M-PESA and bank/card balances with the real balances you have.
