Laundromat Revenue Calculator

The calculator reuses the washer turns-per-day figure for dryers but multiplies it by 0.8, on the assumption that dryers complete somewhat fewer cycles per day than washers — customers often combine loads into one dryer cycle or air-dry part of a wash. This keeps the model to a single throughput input instead of asking for a separate dryer estimate, at the cost of some precision if your dryers actually run close to full washer throughput.

A turn is one complete paid cycle on a single machine — put a load in, collect payment, the cycle finishes. Because monthly washer revenue multiplies turns per day by every washer and every operating day in the month, a change of even one or two turns compounds across the entire fleet and the whole month, making it the single most sensitive input in the model.

It's a flat $3 per washer per day, meant to represent detergent, soap, and snack or vending-machine sales rather than machine cycles. It doesn't look at actual vending machine count, product pricing, or foot traffic, so treat it as a rough placeholder you should replace with your own historical vending numbers if you have them.

No — annual revenue is simply the monthly total multiplied by twelve, so it assumes every month performs identically to the one you modeled. It won't reflect seasonal dips, holiday closures, or machine downtime for repairs, so a more realistic annual estimate should adjust for any months you expect to underperform the average.

All five output figures come only from machine and vending income — none of the calculator's math ever subtracts an expense. Rent, utilities, water, labor, and equipment financing are all absent, so the results describe money coming in, not what's left after running the business, and should be paired with a separate expense model before judging profitability.
