Laundromat Financial Model Template (3 Statement Model)

• Self-service wash — modeled across three machine tiers (standard, large, extra-large), each with its own price per cycle, daily cycle capacity, and a utilization curve that ramps from a conservative opening-month rate up to a steady-state target you define
• Self-service dry — priced per 10-minute increment, with its own capacity and independent utilization ramp (dryers rarely run at the same utilization as washers, and the model reflects that)
• Wash-Dry-Fold (WDF) retail — priced per pound, with a maximum daily processing capacity and a slower ramp-up than self-service, reflecting how WDF customer bases typically build through word of mouth
• Commercial / wholesale laundry — recurring B2B contracts with hotels, gyms, salons, spas, or Airbnb hosts, modeled as a growing account count, each contributing a set volume per week at a wholesale price per pound
• Pickup & delivery — order volume that ramps from a soft launch to a steady-state number of orders per week, priced per pound (at a delivery premium over walk-in WDF) plus a separate flat delivery fee per order
• Ancillary income — five separate lines: vending machine sales, card reload/convenience fees, dry-cleaning drop-off commission, locker rental income, and kiosk/screen advertising

Every stream also runs through a 12-month seasonality index you control, so summer months (typically higher laundry volume) and slow winter weeks don't get treated the same as an "average" month. Combined with the utilization ramp, this is what turns a static spreadsheet into a genuine laundromat financial forecasting model — one where Month 1 looks like a real Month 1, not a fraction of Year 5.

Every number on every tab is a live formula, color-coded so you always know what you're looking at: blue text on yellow is a hardcoded input you can safely change, black text is a formula you shouldn't overwrite, and green text is a link pulled from another tab. Change a machine count or a wage rate once on the Assumptions tab, and it flows through revenue, cost, all three statements, the KPI dashboard, and the returns calculation automatically — no re-linking, no broken formulas.

• Full 3-statement output, monthly Yr1 + annual Yr2–5
• Gross/EBITDA/net margins and revenue mix by stream
• Break-even monthly revenue (fixed vs. variable cost split)
• Revenue per sq ft and unit economics by stream
• IRR, NPV, payback period — doubles as a laundromat valuation calculator

• Owners applying for an SBA loan or equipment financing
• Operators evaluating adding WDF, delivery, or a commercial book
• Investors/brokers needing a clean model behind a pitch or acquisition
