Delivery fee calculator for Kenyan sellers

A flat fee can work for nearby orders with similar costs. For destinations, parcel sizes, or couriers that vary, calculate the fee from the actual quote so delivery does not reduce your product profit.

Either can work. If you offer free delivery, add the calculated delivery cost to the product price so your business still covers it.

A small buffer gives you room for a rider price change, extra packaging, or a delivery that takes longer than expected. Set it to zero if you only want to pass on your exact cost.

Short-distance boda deliveries in Kenyan towns typically run from about KSh 100 to KSh 300, and this calculator's default example starts from a KSh 250 rider quote. Cross-town trips, heavy or bulky parcels, and fuel prices push quotes higher. Ask the rider for a live quote to the customer's destination and use that exact amount as your base fee.

Add the rider or courier quote for that destination to any packaging cost you paid, then add a small buffer. The calculator sums those three figures and, by default, rounds the total up to the nearest KSh 50 so the customer sees a clean fee like KSh 300.

Only if you add it. The packaging field covers a bag, box, wrapping, or tape that you pay for on top of the delivery. Leave it at zero when packaging is already included in your product price, so you are not charging the customer twice.

Rounding makes fees easier for customers to read and approve, so the calculator rounds up to the nearest KSh 50 by default. Switch the rounding off if you prefer to pass on the exact total of rider cost, packaging, and buffer instead of a round figure.

When the final fee is higher than your rider-plus-packaging cost, the difference is what you keep. With the default example - a KSh 250 rider cost, KSh 30 packaging, and KSh 20 buffer - the recommended fee is KSh 300 and you keep KSh 20. Set the buffer to zero and turn rounding off to pass on your exact cost.

Yes. The calculator runs free in your browser and you can use it for any number of deliveries. Anonymous usage totals are tracked to improve the tool, and your figures are never linked to you or shown to other users.
