Daily profit
How to use this calculator
Enter your selling price, total variable cost for each sold item, quantity sold and daily fixed expenses such as stall fees. Include packaging and transport in the item cost. Add a daily profit target to see how many items you need to sell.
Calculation
Daily profit = (selling price − item cost) × items sold − daily fixed expenses. Break-even quantity = daily fixed expenses ÷ profit per item, rounded up.
Example
Sell 20 items at 120 each, with a cost of 90 per item and daily expenses of 150. Revenue is 2,400 and profit is 450. You need 25 sales to earn a daily profit of 600.
What to keep in mind
This is an estimate using the costs you enter. Taxes, credit sales, stock losses and other expenses must be accounted for separately. Target quantities assume the same price and cost for every item.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my profit less than my revenue?
Revenue is the amount sold. Profit subtracts the item costs and daily fixed expenses you enter.
Why are sales quantities rounded up?
You need a whole number of sales to cover the calculated amount. A requirement of 8.2 items means at least 9 sales.
Can I use this for several different products?
The tool assumes one price and one item cost. Calculate separate products separately; it does not combine a mixed product inventory.
