The math, in plain sight.
- Daily capacity
- Floor of (available hours × 60) ÷ (session minutes + reset minutes).
- Monthly sessions
- Daily capacity × operating days × booked utilization, rounded down.
- Operating contribution
- Sessions × (realized revenue − variable cost) − attributable monthly fixed costs.
- Simple payback
- Upfront investment ÷ positive monthly operating contribution.
This is a single-device planning model, not an accounting profit calculation. It excludes taxes, financing, depreciation, ramp-up, downtime beyond your entered availability, replacement costs, and resale value. It assumes stable utilization and pricing. Include every attributable operating cost in your inputs; don’t double-count revenue from memberships or multi-modality bundles. No data is saved or sent when you use this calculator.
