Example values: please adjust to your own location.

Use a realistic estimate for your location, not a target figure.
Estimate the average basket per customer realistically.
For a mixed range with higher-priced items, use a realistic average.
Office locations: approx. 21 (Mon–Fri).

C) Running costs per month

Example: 55% means €55 spent buying products for every €100 of net sales.
No fixed rent = 0 €. Enter a revenue share as an estimated monthly amount if applicable.

Senvend example: 2.5% of gross payment including deposit plus €0.02 per card payment. Enter monthly terminal costs separately.

Energy label: 2,340 kWh/year, i.e. around 195 kWh/month. At 0.26 €/kWh, this is about 50 €. In cool interiors, real consumption is often lower.
Spirals from 5 €: View spare parts prices.
Enter the monthly amount from your cover; 10 € is only a planning value.

How the vending machine calculator works

The calculator deducts all entered variable and fixed operating costs from net revenue. Your own working time is not included.

  • Net sales = customers per day × products per customer × sales days × net selling price per product
  • Running costs = cost of goods + spoilage + location + card fees + all fixed costs
  • Operating profit = net sales − running costs
  • Payback period = total investment ÷ operating profit

What determines profitability

Location has the greatest impact. Footfall, time spent on site and returning users, for example in an office, gym or workshop, have the strongest influence on daily customer numbers. Average basket size, product range and purchase prices come next.

The calculator supports your planning. Location, product range, restocking frequency and the work involved in operating the machine determine the actual result.

How much does a snack vending machine cost?

These net prices match the configurations that can actually be selected on each product page. A net freight charge of 375 € per machine is added:

  • Extension module on its own: temporary promotional price 2,695 €; requires a CSC-10C as the controller
