BUSINESS CALCULATOR

Enter a ZIP code. We load the local competition, posted bay rates, rent, wages and weather from our research on nearly 800 simulator venues across eight Western states, then build a profit model you can adjust line by line.

01Your site

Where you'd open, how big, and how you'd run it. Change any of these later and the model updates.

?Self-serve 24/7: guests book online and get a door code; about 20 hours a week of owner or part-time help plus a cleaning service.

Staffed: an attendant every open hour, plus a general manager.

Market saturation ?We share every Census tract's population among the simulator venues within 15 miles (a stand-in for a 30-minute drive), weighted by bays and closeness. That gives the number of residents a new bay here would draw, which we compare with a typical venue in the same state.

Indoor demand by month ?From NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals for the nearest station. Bad outdoor-golf days (cold, wet, snow, or 100°F+) fill indoor bays; perfect days empty them. Taller bars mean more indoor demand.

Break-even ?The share of open hours you need booked to cover every cost, after membership and food & beverage margins. The bar shows the utilization in your model; the white line is break-even.

04Talk through your numbers

Send us your market read and model. A Launch House designer will follow up with a report and a price for the actual build.

Your market and model numbers go with it. We don't share your details.

How this works. Market figures come from Launch House research on simulator venues in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington (October 2026), Census 2020 population, broker rent reports, 2026 minimum wages, EIA power prices and NOAA climate normals. Outside those eight states the calculator uses Western benchmarks and says so. Where a venue doesn't publish its bay count, we use the typical count for its brand or venue type. Utilization is a planning estimate, not a forecast. Read the full methodology →
