Fleet & Pricing — Revenue Base
These drive gross monthly volume for every machine. Loads are assumed to split across machines equally; volume translates dollars through whatever payment mix you set.
Coin Handling Costs (per month)
What it actually costs you to run coins on the coin share of volume: collection labor, counting/sorting, and coin & changer/locker supply.
Card System Costs
One-time equipment purchase plus ongoing lease, per-transaction %, and gateway fees. Payback period is computed against the card system's extra net vs coin.
Card % drives the split of gross volume between the two methods.
