How to Charge Laundry by Weight (per kg)

Written by the SellarPro team · Published 10 October 2026 · Updated 12 October 2026 · 2 min read

Short answer

Add a garment such as "Mixed load (per kg)" to your price list with a price per kilo for each service. At drop-off, tap it and type the weight (for example 4.5) as the quantity, then set Pieces in to the number of garments in the bag. You can mix per-kg loads and per-item garments on one ticket.

Many laundries price everyday washing by the kilo and special garments by the piece. SellarPro handles both on the same ticket.

Step 1: add a per-kg row to your price list

  1. Open Laundry → Price list.
  2. In Garments (one per line), add a line such as Mixed load (per kg). Add more if you price differently, for example Whites (per kg) and Bedding (per kg). Click Save rows & columns.
  3. In the grid, type the price per kilo under each service you offer by weight, such as Wash & Fold or Wash only, and click Save prices.

Step 2: weigh and take it in

  1. Weigh the bag.
  2. On Laundry → New drop-off, tap the per-kg price.
  3. In the quantity box of that line, type the weight, for example 4.5. The line total is the weight times the price per kilo.
    A drop-off with Mixed load (per kg), Wash only, at 4.5 kg and 15.00 a kilo, making 67.50
    4.5 kg at 15.00 a kilo is 67.50.
  4. In the description, note what is in the bag, such as "2 bedsheets, towels, school uniforms".

Correct the pieces count. Pieces in fills itself from the quantities, so a 4.5 kg load counts as 5 pieces. Type the number of garments actually in the bag, because that is the number checked when the clothes go back.

Mixing weight and pieces

Add per-kg loads and per-item garments to the same ticket: for example 4.5 kg of mixed washing plus one suit for dry cleaning. Each is its own line with its own price, and the ticket prints both.

Common questions

Can I set a minimum charge, such as 3 kg minimum?
There is no automatic minimum. Type the minimum weight as the quantity when a load is lighter, or add a garment such as "Small load (up to 3 kg)" at a fixed price.
Does the weight print on the ticket?
Yes. The line prints as the quantity times the garment name, for example "4.5 x Mixed load (per kg)".
