When Does Your Investment Pay Back?

Payback, yearly return, and the sales you need to break even, from your own numbers. Start from a real brand's published investment or type your own.

Fill three quick steps, or see it in action first:

1What you would spend to open

Everything paid once to start: franchise fee, cart or store fit-out, equipment, first stock, permits.

2What you expect to sell

All the cash customers pay you in a month. Example: 100 cups a day at ₱50 is around ₱150,000 a month.

After paying for ingredients or stock only. If a ₱50 cup costs ₱30 to make, ₱20 is left, so enter 40. Food stalls often sit somewhere between 30 and 50; ask the brand for their number.

3What it costs to keep running

What you pay every month even on a zero-sales day: rent, staff wages, electricity, water, internet.

Called royalty: a monthly percentage of sales some brands charge, sometimes plus a marketing fee (add them together here). Many small PH franchises charge 0; it is written in the agreement.

How this works

  1. 1Tell it what you would spend to open. Pick a real brand and we prefill its published cost.
  2. 2Guess your monthly sales and how much of each sale is left after ingredients.
  3. 3Add your monthly bills. We show your profit, when you get your money back, and the sales you must hit to avoid losses.

Honest assumptions

This is a simple estimate: it assumes the same sales every month, and leaves out taxes, one-off repairs, and your own salary. Real results depend heavily on location and how the store is run. It is a guide, never a promise, and not investment advice.
