Definition
A mahindi choma calculator estimates roasted-maize vendor profit and how many cobs you need to sell to cover daily fixed costs.
Example
At KES 12 maize cost and KES 30 selling price with KES 110 charcoal and transport, the tool shows daily profit and break-even volume.
Mahindi choma vendor margins
Roasted maize is a classic Kenya street hustle: low startup, high foot-traffic locations, and simple inputs — maize, charcoal, and transport.
The key number is contribution per cob after maize cost. Charcoal and transport are mostly fixed for the day, so break-even volume tells you how many pieces you must sell before profit starts.
Test selling price against nearby competition. A shilling or two per cob, or a quieter pitch, can flip a good day into a loss — model both before you commit the cart and first stock.
