Laundry & Dry Cleaning Cost Calculator

How Much Does a Load of Laundry Cost?

At our real DFW pricing, wash & fold runs $2.49 per pound, so the cost of laundry per load comes down to how much a load actually weighs. A typical load of everyday clothes — shirts, jeans, a few towels — usually lands between 10 and 15 lb, putting most single loads in the $24.90 to $37.35 range. A heavier family load with bedding or comforters mixed in can run higher. Rather than guess, use the calculator above to enter exactly what you're washing.

If you're trying to estimate laundry cost per month rather than per load, a weekly wash-and-fold pickup of 10 to 15 lb works out to roughly $108 to $162 a month at $2.49/lb. Once you're ordering regularly, a monthly wash & fold plan is usually better value: Single $49 (40 lb), Couple $99 (80 lb + 1 comforter) or Family $199 (180 lb + 2 comforters).

Is laundry priced per load, or per item?

Both, depending on what you're sending. Everyday wash & fold items (shirts, pants, towels, sheets) are priced by weight — the per-pound rate above. Dry cleaning, sarees, and other specialty garments are priced per item instead, since weight alone doesn't reflect the fabric care or handling they need. This calculator covers both at once.
