How much does 1 ATM make in a month?

One ATM typically generates $200 to $800 per month in surcharge revenue for its owner. High-traffic spots like bars, music venues, and convenience stores can push that figure above $1,000 per month.

The math is straightforward. Most owners set a surcharge of $2.50 to $3.50 per transaction. A machine doing 100 transactions at $3.00 nets $300 that month. A busy venue hitting 300 transactions nets $900.

Location is the biggest variable. ATMs placed near nightlife, events, or tourist corridors consistently outperform machines in low-foot-traffic spots.
