Does a vending machine pay off at your location?

Set the sliders for your space – revenue, surplus and payback are calculated live. Nothing is saved, nothing is sent.

The amount the machine costs including its equipment – whether snack, boxing or claw machine. You’ll find your total in the configurator.
Not the town, but the exact spot: how many people pass the machine each day?
Typical value at well-performing locations: 2–5%. At closed locations such as companies or gyms, the rate is higher.
What the goods cost you to buy, as a share of the selling price.
Many operators pay the landlord a flat fee or a share of revenue. Your own premises? Then set it to 0.
For a more precise figure, use the electricity cost calculator.
Anything else that comes up every month – for example insurance, card payment fees, internet or travel costs.

Where do the starting values come from?

The machine prices are our real net selling prices. Purchase rate and cost of goods are based on experience from more than 150 vending shops we've set up – at closed locations such as companies, studios or hotels, the purchase rate is usually higher than on open footpaths. If in doubt, calculate conservatively.
