What’s One Day of Downtime Really Costing Your Laundromat?

Breakdowns happen, but the financial fallout is avoidable. Use our quick calculator to see how much downtime could be draining your revenue and how preventative maintenance (and the right insurance coverage) can protect your bottom line.

Every hour your washers and dryers sit idle costs you money. Most operators underestimate how much until they’re staring at repair delays, lost customers, and a week’s worth of missed revenue.

Our free calculator gives you the numbers:

  • Your annual risk exposure based on your current equipment and operations

  • The cost of downtime vs preventative maintenance

  • How your insurance coverage compares in dollars and sense

Find out where your business stands and what steps can keep it running strong, no matter what happens.

Disclaimer: Results are estimates for informational purposes only based on general industry assumptions. Actual outcomes may vary. This is not financial or professional advice.

Your downtime risk results:

Annual downtime risk: Your total estimated revenue exposure from potential equipment failures based on your daily revenue, equipment age, and incident probability.

Estimated downtime loss avoided: The revenue you could protect by investing in preventative maintenance, factoring in how much regular upkeep reduces your breakdown risk.

Preventative ROI: The return on your maintenance investment. A positive ROI means your maintenance spending is saving you more than it costs. A negative ROI may indicate your equipment is newer, already well-maintained, or your breakdown risk is low, but it doesn't mean you're fully protected from the unexpected.

The bottom line: Maintenance ROI tells part of the story. The right insurance coverage fills the gap—protecting your revenue when breakdowns happen despite your best efforts.
