I DID make an error but a small error as I did months instead of days… Regaurdless, if I do it by days the number is actually HIGHER. > > Yes, you are correct, 20 cans a day is $40 profit x 6 machines = $240… $240 x 365 days = $87,600 and thats if I only sell a measily 20 cans a day. IDK if you belong to Planet Fitness but the place is PACKED from 5am to 11pm and even 11pm to 5am there is still traffic. I did however not include the 20% for there fee and I should have Yes. > > BTW, 20% is HUGE, from the research I’ve gathered the normal rate is FREE to 10%, but becuase it is a well established facility I would increase that to 20% > > Last, even if I only made $50k a yr which is no where near what I think I WOULD make thats 60% of the capital regions full time work salary, for me it would just be a side thing… I think $50k translates to almost $1k a week? I’d like to see $4k a week at least but $1k for doing minimal week is ok with me. My bad man, my math was fucked up lol. I got the cans/dollars mixed up and did 20 x 365 and forgot to double it again for the $2/can, not $1/can. But, I did tell you your merchandise expense if you can get the cans for $1/can lol. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/vending-good-business-idea-or-no/255838)._
