Most laundry shops in the Philippines aim to keep 25% to 35% of what they collect after rent, bills, salary, and supplies. Below 20% you have no room for a broken machine or a slow month. This calculator lets you set the goal you want and tells you the price that reaches it.

Add your monthly bills — rent, electricity, water, and salary — then divide that by the number of loads you finish in a month. Add the supplies one load uses up: detergent, fabric conditioner, plastic, and gas. The two numbers together are your true cost per load.

Usually the price is below the real cost per load, so every extra customer adds a little more loss. It can also be supplies: a pack that finishes faster than you expect quietly raises the cost of every wash. Enter your real pack prices above and the breakdown will show which cost is eating your money.

Check the break-even number this tool gives you. If you are close to it, more loads will fix the problem because rent and salary stay the same no matter how busy you are. If you are far below it, more customers only lose you more money and the price has to move first.

A small shop in the Philippines usually spends ₱25,000 to ₱45,000 a month on rent, electricity, water, and one staff member, plus around ₱40 to ₱60 of supplies on every load. Your own numbers will differ by location, so replace the sample amounts above with your actual bills.
