Vending Machine ROI Calculators
Four calculators that answer the questions people actually ask before buying a vending machine — with real machine prices, the real financing figure from our product pages, and every assumption exposed as a slider you can change. No revenue fantasies, no email gate in front of the answer.
- Break-even on a $3,395 Smart Shop: about 4–5 items a day
- Real financing math: 2.5%/mo, same as our product pages
- Scenario ladder: 10 to 160 sales/day, net per month and year
- Six questions, thirty seconds, grade A–D
- Scored against break-even of the machine you pick
- Every assumption is a slider you can override
- Both lift factors are yours — set them to 1.00× if you like
- $49/mo subscription included in every Smart Shop figure
- Shows payback time on the price difference — or tells you the traditional wins
- Machines, capital, payments from your income target
- Restock stops and hours per week — the part others skip
- Your effective hourly rate, computed honestly
Why our numbers look different from other calculators
They start from real prices. Every machine in these tools is a machine we actually sell, at the price on its product page — from a $2,245 refurbished snack machine to the $7,950 Smart Shop Freezer.
The financing figure is the real one. 2.5% of the machine price per month — the same number printed on our product pages, not a teaser rate.
We don’t project your revenue. Most ROI calculators multiply an “industry average” by your hopes. Ours compute break-even — what it takes to cover the cost — and let you set every assumption above that yourself. The result is a number you can defend to your accountant.
