How the math works
Gross = weekly × 52 × machines. Landlord share × gross − utility/service = annual net.
Renegotiate laundry contracts every 3-5 years. Service providers price for new installs aggressively but let renewals drift — a portfolio that never resets contracts typically leaves 15-30% of revenue share on the table by year 10.
How to Use
- Enter weekly revenue per machine.
- Enter machine count.
- Enter landlord share %.
- Enter installation cost.
- Enter utility and service cost.
- Read annual net income.
Frequently Asked Questions
Deal structures?
Revenue share (60/40 to 80/20 to owner): low risk, moderate return. Rent/lease (fixed $/mo per machine): simple, caps upside. Owner-owned: highest return but service/replace headache. Service bundled contract (Hercules, CSC, Wash): third-party manages.
Per-machine revenue?
Card/app-based: $20-60/week high-use. Coin: $15-40/week. One washer-dryer pair serves 8-15 units. Below 6 units/machine: low revenue per machine; above 15: tenants frustrated with availability.
In-unit competition?
Stack washer-dryer in units (where feasible): premium rent $75-150/mo vs common laundry $15-30 net per unit. In-unit better financially at scale but higher capex and water/drain infrastructure requirements.
How often should I rerun this?
Rerun this calculator whenever inputs change materially — new rent roll data, rate moves, loan balance updates, or quarterly operating data. For active deals, monthly refresh is typical. For stabilized assets under monitoring, quarterly is fine. Treat the output as a decision tool, not a one-time answer — market conditions evolve and so should your analysis.
