How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is the estimated cost of a simple laundry basket at a local laundry or cleaning service in US dollars. Nomadino uses a normal household basket with washing and drying or a basic wash-and-fold service as the comparison unit.

Direct public price anchors are price lists from local laundries, laundromats, cleaners, non-hotel service providers and national consumer-price statistics for laundry and cleaning services. Wage levels, electricity and water costs, restaurant and coffee prices, and World Bank exchange rates are used for plausibility checks.

For countries and territories without complete direct coverage, Nomadino uses maintained replacement values derived from regional comparators, wage and energy costs, island and import costs, and available Nomadino cost indicators.

Express cleaning, hotel laundry, leather or carpet cleaning, special textiles, stain treatment, pick-up and delivery surcharges, washing-machine purchases, home electricity for self-washing and pure kilogram prices without a minimum load are excluded.

The rating uses fixed cost anchors: very cheap laundry baskets up to about USD 3 receive 100 points, USD 4 to USD 8 remains good, USD 12 is mid-range, USD 20 to USD 32 is expensive, and values from about USD 50 fall into the lower rating range.
