Car Wash Revenue Calculator

How This Calculator Works

Enter your throughput assumptions, wash pricing tiers, membership penetration, and water costs. The calculator projects annual gross revenue across all wash types, factors in membership recurring income, and compares water costs with and without a reclaim system.

Key Metrics

• Annual Gross Revenue — Total income from pay-per-wash plus membership subscriptions.
• Revenue Per Bay-Hour — How much each bay earns per operating hour, a key efficiency benchmark.
• Reclaim Payback — How quickly a water reclaim system pays for itself through reduced water costs.

Industry Benchmarks

Top-performing express tunnels generate $15–$25 per bay-hour. Membership penetration above 40% significantly stabilizes monthly cash flow. Water reclaim systems typically pay back within 12–24 months.
