Laundry Load Calculator

A single person often runs one or two loads a week, while a family of four typically lands somewhere between four and eight.

It does in practice. We show loads per person so you can see how much of the pile each member of the household is responsible for.

We use 20 minutes of hands-on time per load for sorting, loading, transferring and folding. Machine time is not counted because you are free during it.

Lifetime loads are counted from today forward, so we multiply your yearly loads by the years remaining between your age and your expected lifespan.

Fuller loads, longer wear between washes and washing towels and bedding on a schedule are the three changes that cut the count fastest.
