What does laundry really cost?
Enter a few basic details to make a preliminary comparison between the expected annual cost of your current outsourced laundry and an on-premises laundry.
The calculation is a preliminary estimate, not a guaranteed payback calculation.
How the calculator works
| Indicator | Formula |
|---|---|
| Annual laundry volume (kg) | kg/day × operating days/year; or kg/week × 52 (in weekly mode) |
| Annual cost of outsourced laundry | annual kg × HUF/kg + transport + other external costs |
| Annual operating cost of an on-premises laundry | energy + water/sewage + gas/steam + chemicals + labour + maintenance + other |
| Annual operating difference | annual cost of outsourced laundry – annual operating cost of the on-premises laundry |
| Simple payback period | investment / positive annual operating difference |
| 5-year simple net effect | 5 × annual difference – investment |
The calculation uses simple multiplication: it does not include inflation, financing costs or discounting.
