Africa has 50M+ SMEs. These tools are built for the entrepreneur running a POS business in Lagos, importing from Alibaba, selling on Instagram, or planning their first restaurant. 45 tools. Zero BS.
Africa has the world's fastest-growing entrepreneurial class. From the POS agent in Ikeja to the mini-importation seller in Kumasi, from the market trader in Westlands to the township spaza shop — African SMEs are building in conditions that Western business tools simply don't understand.
The POS Agent Business Calculator uses real commission data from OPay, Moniepoint, and Palmpay — not generic fintech numbers. The Mini-Importation Calculator knows that air cargo from Guangzhou to Lagos costs ₦5,000/kg, not a generic international rate. The Marketplace Fee Comparator knows Jumia Nigeria's commission structure, not just Amazon's.
These are tools built with Africa in mind, for Africans building Africa.
The POS Agent Business Calculator (/tools/pos-agent/) is for the business owner running a POS point — it calculates daily income, monthly profit, and ROI on starting a POS business. The POS Transaction Fee Calculator (/tools/pos-fees/) calculates the fee charged per transaction — useful for merchants accepting card payments who want to know how much each transaction costs them.
Yes. The Mini-Importation Profit Calculator uses current air cargo rates (₦5,000/kg for standard consolidators as of 2026), the CBN official USD/NGN rate (₦1,660 as of March 2026), and standard customs duty rates for common product categories. All prices are regularly updated. Always verify with your specific clearing agent, as rates can vary.
Yes, for initial estimates and sanity checks. Tools like the Startup Runway Calculator, TAM/SAM/SOM Calculator, and Cash Flow Forecast Tool produce outputs you can use as a starting point for a pitch deck or business plan. For a formal investor presentation, you should validate the numbers with actual market research and have an accountant review financial projections.
All core calculations are completely free — no account, no paywall. AfroTools is free for African entrepreneurs. Some tools offer optional premium features like PDF export, AI analysis, or saved history, which may require an account or Pro plan. The calculators themselves always work for free.
