How Much Is Each Customer Worth?
Even small shifts in pricing or order size can have a big impact on your bottom line. This calculator helps you quickly estimate the revenue potential of each pickup or walk-in laundry customer—whether you charge per pound or offer flat-rate bundles.
Why Order Size Matters
Most customers bring in between 20–40 lbs of laundry at a time. That might not sound like much, but at $1.50–$2.25 per pound, you’re looking at $30–$90 per order. Multiply that by weekly pickups, and one customer could easily generate $100–$300 per month in revenue. Use the slider above to explore different averages and see what your service is really worth.
Per Pound vs Flat Rate
Some laundromat owners prefer a per-pound model, while others use simple flat rates for ease.
There’s no one-size-fits-all — but this tool lets you compare both styles and decide what’s best for your volume, workflow, and target customer.
Per pound = More accurate, but can feel confusing or expensive to customers.
Flat rate = Simpler marketing, but can eat into profits if laundry bags get large.
A hybrid model (e.g. flat rate up to 30 lbs, then +$1.50/lb after) often hits the sweet spot.
Boosting Order Value (Without Pushing Too Hard)
Once you understand your baseline, you can test small ways to increase average order size:
Add pickup & delivery: Many customers will pay more for convenience.
Upsell extras: Next-day service, detergent upgrades, delicates bag handling.
Bundle services: “Get 10% off with weekly pickup for 3 months.”
Even an extra $5 per order adds up fast.
