Laundry & Cleaning Accounting
Laundry and cleaning service businesses have high fixed cost characteristics (rent, salaries, machine depreciation) with volume or weight-based revenue. Consumables such as detergent and plastic packaging need to be tracked to calculate cost per kilogram. Arunika Consulting helps laundry manage efficient bookkeeping according to SAK EMKM.
Common Challenges
Dominant Fixed Costs
Location rent, employee salaries, and machine depreciation are relatively fixed, requiring minimum volume for break-even.
Consumables per Kilogram
Detergent, fragrance, and plastic need to be calculated per kg of laundry for accurate variable costs.
Multi-Service and Different Prices
Kilogram laundry, per piece, express, and dry clean have different prices and costs.
Fluctuating Daily Revenue
Laundry volume varies per day, requiring trend analysis for capacity and staffing.

Variable COGS = (detergent + fragrance + plastic + electricity + water costs per month) รท total kg. Total COGS plus fixed cost allocation per kg.
