How it works
Washing Cost Calculator
Laundries charge by weight. Convert wash rate per kg into a per-piece cost, with chemicals, special effects and rejects.
Weight × rate gives the basic wash; chemicals and manual effects are added, and rejects are loaded on top.
Formula
The formula, in full
- Wash / piece
- Garment weight (kg) × (Rate + Chemicals)
- Total / piece
- (Wash + Special process) × (1 + Reject%)
Example
Denim jeans, enzyme stone wash
- 01Wash = 0.65 × (38 + 12) = ₹32.50
- 02Plus ₹6 effects = ₹38.50
- 03With 3% rejects = ₹39.66
