List each linen item with how many go in a set, the cost per wash and the replacement cost, then set your change frequency and occupied room-nights. The tool works out the cost of a full linen change and spreads that across your room-nights and stays.
| Item | Qty / Set | Cost / Wash | Replacement Cost | Washes Before Replacement | Wash Cost | Amortised Replacement | Total / Change |

Moving from a daily change to every three nights, with guest opt-in for a full change on request, is one of the largest laundry savings available and is now widely accepted by guests as a sustainability measure rather than a service cut.
In-house laundry gives more control over quality and timing but carries hidden costs in water, energy, labour and equipment maintenance that are easy to underestimate. Outsourced laundry has a clearer per-item price but less flexibility around urgent turnarounds.
Linen wears out. Spreading the replacement cost across its expected number of washes, rather than only counting the wash cost, gives a much more accurate picture of the true cost per change.
Compare your invoiced laundry spend or in-house consumable costs against what this calculator predicts periodically. A consistent gap usually points to either a higher-than-expected change frequency in practice or replacement cycles that are shorter than assumed.
This calculator provides estimates based on the figures you enter. JWBIZ Ltd accepts no liability for cost or purchasing decisions made on the basis of this tool.
