Change the assumptions to see how the operating surplus changes. The defaults combine published references and planning estimates for Saudi Arabia.
If this monthly surplus stays constant, the illustrative truck price equals about 4 months of surplus, before omitted costs.

Operating surplus equals 23% of sales before omitted costs
Sales after output VAT, food/packaging and the monthly expenses entered. This is not take-home profit: waste, payment/delivery fees, owner pay, financing and other costs are excluded unless you include them. The truck-price example excludes other startup costs.
Cover the entered costs: 30 orders a day
An example for a ready truck with its kitchen and identity. The final price depends on your requirements; the study has the details.

A worked example with your numbers, not a promise of income. Real results depend on location, price and costs; the study itemises every line.

- Market demand 4/10
Burgers are a top seller and the small-box format is proven. - Licensing and rules 6/10
In Saudi Arabia the licence is for nationals only, one per person, plus export conformity papers. - Operation and upkeep 3/10
A simple kitchen: griddle, fridges and prep, in stainless steel. - Supply of inputs 3/10
Beef, buns and cheese are available locally in the target markets. - Capital at risk 5/10
The truck keeps resale value and can move to another site. - Competition 7/10
