Step 1
About your laundromat
How many unique paying customers does your laundromat see in a typical month right now?
Self-service: $6–$12 · Wash & fold: $15–$30 · Pickup & delivery: $25–$60+
Self-service: 3–4 visits · Wash & fold: 1–3 · Pickup & delivery: 3–5 (often weekly).
5–25% is the typical range for ad-driven growth. Higher targets need bigger budgets.
Step 2
Your market difficulty
Same ad budget delivers more customers in an Easy market than a Tough one — we adjust your projection accordingly. Pick the option that best matches your competition, review strength, and website quality combined.
Estimates, not promises. This is a general calculator we built to model laundromat growth. Actual results depend on ad creative, operational consistency, customer experience, offer competitiveness, and timing.
New customers / month
+120
Range: +96 to +144 once optimized
$300 budget ÷ ~$2.50/cust = +120/mo
Extra revenue / month
$24k
By month 12 · with retention follow-up
(1,147 active customers × 3.5 visits × $8) − current baseline
Extra revenue in year 1

Cumulative · with retention follow-up
Sum of monthly extra revenue over 12 months
Potential ad spend
120 customers × ~$2.50/customer · range $300 – $300
At minimum recommended spend — over-delivers your 10% goalPaid directly to Google / Meta. Separate from our service fee.
Email & SMS retention isn't in the ad budget — it's part of our All-In-One Growth Package. Those channels drive the compounding revenue you see in the chart below.
The compounding gap
By month 12, retention follow-up adds an estimated $8,057/month of recurring revenue on top of acquisition alone — that's an additional $35k over the 12 months.
How these numbers work
Cost per new customer — by service type
General ranges used inside this calculator. Higher-ticket services cost more to acquire but deliver higher lifetime value.
Ad spend floor & channel split
$300/mo minimum (~$10/day) — below this, you can't gather enough data to optimize. The first $300 always goes to Google Ads (high-intent search). Above $300, additional budget splits 50/50 between Google and Meta (Facebook + Instagram for awareness and geo-fencing).
Email & SMS aren't in the ad budget — they're retention channels included in the All-In-One Growth Package.

Effective cost per customer = service cost × market multiplier. Same ad budget delivers far more in an Easy market than a Tough one.
Churn assumptions (the heart of the compounding model)
Without retention follow-up: ~18% monthly churn. Customers come once or twice and drift. Active customer base plateaus quickly.
With retention follow-up: ~7% monthly churn. Welcome sequences, win-back campaigns, and seasonal promos keep customers coming back. Your active base — and revenue — keeps compounding.
Marketing also takes ~6 months to fully ramp and optimize. We model a gradual acquisition curve from month 1 to month 6, then steady at target through month 12.
Projections are general estimates from this calculator. Actual results depend on market conditions, ad creative, operational consistency, customer experience, and offer competitiveness.
