Location Revenue Calculator — See What a Claw Machine Earns Your Business

How the Commission Works

Operator Places the Machine

The operator owns, stocks, and services the claw machine in your location. You provide the floor space — nothing else.

Customers Play & Pay

Every play generates revenue. The machine collects automatically. No cash handling, no inventory, no employees needed on your end.

You Get Your Cut

At each service visit, the operator pays your commission — either as a percentage of gross revenue or net revenue, depending on your deal.

Commission model

NET Commission

GROSS Commission

NET model: You earn a % of revenue after the operator deducts prize & supply costs. More transparent — your cut reflects real profit. Operators typically offer 40–60% of NET. Most common: 50% of NET.

How these numbers work: Gross revenue = machines × plays/day × price × 30 days. NET revenue deducts the operator’s prize & supply cost from gross. NET commission = your % × NET revenue. GROSS commission = your % × gross revenue. The deal comparison at standard rates (50% NET / 30% GROSS) helps you see which structure benefits you more at different prize cost levels. These are projections — actual results vary by traffic, location, and machine type. Talk to an operator for a real-world estimate based on your specific business.
