Laundromat valuation calculator
Estimate a value range from cash flow and check an asking price against it.
The asking price is in the upper half of the estimated range. Make sure the lease, location, and equipment justify it.
* Equipment value is an estimate only: the replacement cost if new times the condition percentage. It reflects the machines' current worth as a sanity check and a price floor, and is not added on top of the cash-flow valuation above.

Frequently asked questions
How much does one of these businesses cost?
Prices depend on cash flow, equipment age, lease terms, and whether real estate is included. Most laundry businesses trade on a multiple of seller's discretionary earnings, commonly in the 3x to 5x range.
Can I finance the purchase?
Many buyers use SBA 7(a) loans, conventional loans, or seller financing. Use the SudsList calculators to model loan payments and cash-on-cash return before making an offer.
How do I evaluate a listing?
Confirm revenue against utility bills and collection records, review the lease, and inspect the age and condition of every machine. See the SudsList Guide for a full due diligence checklist.
