Growing sales is not enough

A business can grow its sales and still make less money, if costs grow faster. That is why profit growth, not revenue growth, is the truer measure of whether you are getting ahead.

Tracking profit between periods, in shillings and percent, shows whether your effort is translating into more money kept, or just more money moving. If sales are up but profit is flat, the answer is in your costs and margins.

Worked examples

Quarter on quarter

Profit rose from KES 80,000 to KES 104,000.
That is 30% profit growth.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate profit growth?

Subtract the earlier period profit from the later period profit, divide by the earlier profit, and multiply by 100. The result is your profit growth rate as a percentage.

Why track profit growth instead of sales growth?

Because sales can grow while profit shrinks if costs rise faster. Profit growth tells you whether the business is actually getting healthier, not just busier.

My sales grew but profit did not. Why?

Your costs or discounts likely grew faster than your sales. Check your margins, your buying prices and any leakage. Growing turnover on a falling margin can leave you worse off.

What is a good profit growth rate?

It depends on your stage and market, so compare against your own past and your goals. Steady positive profit growth is the sign of a strengthening business.
