Illustrative Commercial Revenue Models
Even relatively modest occupancy levels can generate meaningful turnover over the course of a year. The examples below demonstrate how guest capacity and pricing may influence annual revenue.
The following calculations are illustrative only and are based on:
- A standard 6–8 person commercial mobile sauna
- 5 operating days per week
- 8 sessions per day
- 50 operating weeks per year
- Session pricing between €15.00 and €20.00 per guest
This equates to approximately 2,000 operating sessions per year.

- Firewood or electricity
- Booking software and payment systems

When preparing your own business plan, these operational costs should be considered alongside your anticipated pricing strategy and expected occupancy.
