Method
How the Indoor Playground ROI Calculator Works
Three formulas sit behind the figures. Each one can be checked by hand.
Investment
Floor area × price per square metre for the project type and build level. The range runs from 10% below to 15% above the calculated figure.
Playground size
Budget ÷ price per square metre at the selected build level, with the same range applied.
Payback and ROI
Monthly profit = ticket price × daily visitors × operating days, minus rent, staff, marketing and other costs. Payback period = investment ÷ monthly profit. Annual ROI = 12 months of profit ÷ investment.
