ROI cost calculation for cleaning robots

For medium-sized facilities (1,500 m²+) cleaned several times per week, payback typically falls between 12 and 30 months. The calculator shows your individual payback based on area, cleaning frequency and current hourly cost.

Purchase has the lowest total cost over the asset's life (5+ years) but ties up capital. Leasing (36 months, around 5% p.a.) keeps liquidity flexible and is operationally deductible. Rental suits pilot projects or seasonal peaks without long-term commitment. The calculator compares all three side by side.

From about 800 m² of contiguous floor area with recurring cleaning cycles, robotics becomes economically viable. Below that, fixed costs (service, stations) dominate. Ideal segments are offices, retail, hotels, healthcare, industry and logistics with at least 3 cleaning cycles per week.

With rental, service, maintenance and updates are always included. With purchase or leasing, you can add the service package, which covers scheduled maintenance, remote support and software updates. The calculator factors both into the monthly cost.

No. Cleaning robots take over repetitive floor cleaning of large areas and offload your team. Your staff can focus on detail cleaning, sanitary areas and tasks that require human judgement. The result: fewer overtime hours, lower personnel costs, consistent hygiene quality.
