How your coins
become time.
This is how the pricing rule on our machines works at the standard rates: ₱1 for 1 hour, ₱5 for 1 day, ₱20 for 7 days. Always check the rate panel on your machine.
Use the WiFi time planner to calculate your amount and compare collection methods.
The rule: largest bundle first
When you insert coins, the system takes your total for that coin window, fills as many ₱20 bundles as it can, then ₱5 bundles, then counts the rest as ₱1 hours.
| Total | Bundles | Time |
|---|---|---|
| ₱3 | 3 × ₱1 | 3 hours |
| ₱5 | 1 × ₱5 | 1 day |
| ₱7 | ₱5 + 2 × ₱1 | 1 day 2 hours |
| ₱10 | 2 × ₱5 | 2 days |
| ₱15 | 3 × ₱5 | 3 days |
| ₱20 | 1 × ₱20 | 7 days |
| ₱25 | ₱20 + ₱5 | 8 days |
The habit that costs the most: splitting coins across windows
Pricing applies to one coin window at a time. Time already bought is never recalculated. Compare five ₱1 coins:
- All five in one window: ₱5 total, so 1 day.
- One each, in five separate windows: 5 hours.
Same with larger amounts: ₱5 four times in separate windows gives 4 days, while ₱20 in one window gives 7 days. So if you'll want more time, have your coins in hand before you tap Insert Coin. The window stays open for 30 seconds.
Which amount suits what
An hour costs ₱1 on its own, a day works out to about 21 centavos an hour, and a week to about 12 centavos an hour. But time runs continuously from the moment you start, including while you sleep or leave. If you only come by for a laundry cycle once a week, single hours cost less overall than a 7-day purchase. If you're nearby and online every day, the weekly amount is cheaper than daily purchases: ₱20 for 7 days versus ₱35 for seven separate days.
Adding more while you're online
You can top up an active connection. New time is added to what you have left, and the same one-window rule applies to the top-up.
If the number looks wrong
Check the amount recorded on screen. Stop inserting if a coin wasn't counted, note the amount and the time, and tell the attendant. Staff can look at the recorded result.
