How our laundry business revenue calculator works

The national average for laundry machine pairs per building is 1 pair ( washer + dryer) for every 8-12 apartments in the complex. A 1:8 ratio of pairs to units is very efficient and enough space for everyone’s needs, whereas a 1:12 ratio is more challenging (with so many people trying to fight for a machine).

When putting together an average, we average these for a 1 pair per 10 units ratio in the building, giving us a fair picture of how many machines are needed at a property.

Next, we assume each residential unit washes 1.5 loads per week, averaging the needs of a 3-bedroom unit against a studio unit. Then we multiply that number of cycles by 4.2 weeks per month and generate a total amount of cycles per unit.

Finally, we take that data and multiply that number by the price of the washer + dryer pair. Creating a quality estimate of the total amount of money that can be generated in your building.
