See What a Car Wash Price Change Could Do to Your Margin

Use your own wash price, volume, and cost inputs to model break-even attrition, annual revenue change, and annual margin impact before you adjust pricing.

Operator planning tool

Model your pricing before you change it in the lane

Use your own current price, wash volume, and cost assumptions to estimate break-even attrition, margin impact, and revenue change before rolling out a new wash price.

Use your own numbers

Everything updates from your real price, volume, and cost inputs. No benchmark data is mixed in.

See margin, not just revenue

Compare top-line change with what actually reaches your pocket after wash costs.

Pressure test traffic swings

Model what happens if a price change costs you cars or helps you gain more volume.

The decision

What if you change the price?

Set a proposed price, then model how much traffic you could lose or gain and still compare against today's operation.

$

Break-even attrition

Enter your current price, cost, and proposed price to see how much customer loss the new price could absorb.

Annual margin change vs today

After the price change and traffic swing, compared with your business today.

Annual revenue change vs today

Top-line change before costs.

Revenue and margin move differently. Every additional car adds sales, but it also adds wash cost, so margin is the cleaner profitability signal.
How the model works

Understand the outputs before you change pricing

The calculator separates wash price, wash cost, and traffic change so you can understand how a pricing move changes revenue and margin differently.

Price and traffic are separate levers

The model first changes price, then applies your traffic swing to show the combined outcome.

Costs can be quick or refined

Start with a monthly estimate, then switch to chemicals and utilities when you want a tighter per-car cost.

Your numbers stay your numbers

No benchmark data is mixed into the result cards or the emailed report.

Break-even attrition leads the decision

It shows how much customer loss a higher price can absorb, or how many customers a lower price needs to add.
