Use profit before you price a lease or loan

A laundromat can show attractive gross revenue and still miss cash-flow targets after utilities, repairs, payroll, rent, insurance, supplies, and equipment debt. Use the break-even turns number as a quick underwriting guardrail before comparing locations, machine packages, or acquisition offers.

Laundromat profit calculator FAQ

What is a good profit margin for a laundromat?

Many owner-operators underwrite to cash flow after rent, utilities, payroll, insurance, repairs, supplies, and debt service rather than a single margin target. This worksheet makes that monthly NOI visible.

How many turns per day does a laundromat need to break even?

The answer depends on machine count, vend prices, open days, and fixed expenses. The calculator divides monthly expenses by the revenue from one store-wide turn to estimate required turns per day.

Should debt service be included?

Yes when comparing acquisition or equipment-financing scenarios. Debt service can make an otherwise profitable operating model fail the cash-flow test.

Can dryer turns differ from washer turns?

Yes. The model keeps washer and dryer turns separate because dryer utilization, vend pricing, and customer behavior often differ from wash cycles.
