How to Calculate Daily Profit in a Kenyan Shop
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.
