ATM Earnings Calculator

The calculator is intentionally simple: it multiplies your daily customer count by a typical cash-withdrawal rate for your business type, projects that over 30 days, and applies a flat host commission per withdrawal. It's meant to give you a realistic ballpark in a few seconds — not a contractual number.

Different business types get different withdrawal rates because cash habits genuinely vary — a bar or event venue sees a much higher share of cash-seeking customers than a general retail shop, and the calculator reflects that. The one thing it can't account for is your specific location: visibility, exact foot traffic, and how cash-reliant your particular customers are.

That's exactly what a free site survey is for — we'll look at your actual business and give you a real number instead of an estimate.

How accurate is this estimate?

It's a ballpark, not a quote. The calculator assumes a fixed percentage of your daily customers withdraw cash and a flat host commission per withdrawal — real results depend on your specific foot traffic, how many customers already carry cash, and where the machine is placed in your business.

What actually changes the real number?

The biggest factors are machine visibility (near the entrance or register beats a back hallway), whether your business is cash-preferred by nature (bars, laundromats, and event venues skew high), and how consistent your daily traffic really is versus a rough guess.

Does getting my exact number cost anything?

No. A site survey and firm quote are free — we look at your actual location and expected volume and give you a real number, not an estimate, with no obligation.

Is this the same whether I choose free placement or buy my own ATM?

No — this estimate reflects the host commission under free placement. If you buy your own machine, you keep the full surcharge instead of a commission, which is typically two to three times higher per transaction. See our free placement vs. buying guide for that comparison.
