Understand the calculation

An estimate, with the math in view.

No growth, residual equipment value, working-capital recovery, or financing is modeled. All entered startup cash is treated as invested. Operating cash surplus is not comprehensive accounting profit or net profit.

Any cost not entered is omitted, including tax, freight, setup, opening stock, processor transaction costs, insurance, electricity, maintenance, labor, and reserves. A zero fee default means no fee was entered, not that it is free. Actual revenue, downtime, fees, and costs may vary; confirm the complete plan independently.

Initial investment
Planning equipment cost + additional upfront cost
Monthly revenue
Daily gross revenue × operating days per month
Monthly operating expenses
Fixed + location + restocking + product + other monthly costs + revenue × payment fee %
Net 18-month return
(Monthly revenue − monthly operating expenses) × 18 − initial investment
Net ROI / payback
Net return ÷ initial investment × 100. Payback is initial investment ÷ positive monthly surplus, rounded up to a whole month.
