Important Note

This calculator estimates payback for the equipment investment only. Buildout costs (renovation, F&B kiosk fit-out, signage, insurance, marketing) are not included and typically add 30-80% to the equipment number. Operating cost estimates use 35-45% of gross revenue depending on venue type. Rent above 25% of revenue can extend payback by 6-18 months. Insurance premiums vary materially with cert standards (EN 1176, ASTM, AS 4685 typically reduce premiums versus uncertified equipment).
