It is a calculator, not a projection
This tool performs simple arithmetic on inputs that you control. It does not model your specific site, your foot traffic, your product mix or your operating capability. Nothing on this page is a forecast, projection, representation or guarantee of income by Vend Brands.
Default values are indicative only
Cost of goods, sale prices, rent, terminal fees, insurance and sales-per-day defaults are approximations supplied for illustration. Supplier pricing, landlord terms, merchant fees and insurance premiums change and vary by operator, volume, state and site. Confirm every figure independently before relying on it.
Costs excluded from this model
The model excludes, among other things: GST and income tax, machine purchase price and depreciation, delivery and installation, electricity, internet/telemetry, restocking labour and travel, consumables wastage and spoilage, card-processing percentage fees, repairs and maintenance, warranty-excluded damage, licensing fees, accounting and compliance costs, and any site-specific charges. Your real net profit will be lower than a model that ignores these costs.
No financial, tax or investment advice
Information on this page is general in nature and is not financial, accounting, tax, legal or investment advice, and does not consider your objectives, financial situation or needs. Seek advice from a licensed professional before making any purchase, finance or investment decision.
Business risk
All business ventures carry risk. A vending asset may earn materially less than any figure shown here, may earn nothing, and it is possible to lose some or all of the capital invested. Past performance of any machine or location is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
