Disclosure-based. Not a forecast, not an offer to sell a franchise, and not advice.

- At the filed margin the low-end build returns in 4.19 years. $502,866 of profit a year on 24.59% of $2,045,001 *, and 6.92 years on the $3,477,500 build, before interest, tax and any replacement of the trampolines.

- The top quartile bills 2.33 times the bottom and the extremes run 5.25 times apart. $3,007,318 against $1,288,575 by quartile, and $3,754,211 against $715,622 park to park *.
How much does a Altitude Trampoline Park franchise make?
The average Altitude Trampoline Park unit reported $2,045,001 of revenue in the 2026 FDD, and the median reported $1,884,486. The brand’s disclosure document puts the profit line at 24.6% of revenue. Fees come off the top first, at about 8% of sales across royalty, brand fund and the rest of the stack. Revenue is not income. Rent, wages, cost of goods and the franchise fees all come out before an owner is paid. The figures for the highest-selling and lowest-selling businesses are below.
Sales, best to worst
$2,045,001 across 64 parks.
The 64 US parks that traded all of 2025 sort into four quartiles of sixteen, ranked on their own gross sales.
| quartile | Parks | Average gross sales | Median | Highest | Lowest | Reaching the group average | The range inside the quarter * |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| First | 16 | $3,007,318 | $2,915,866 | $3,754,211 | $2,539,126 | 6 of 16, 38% | 1.48× |
| Second | 16 | $2,144,072 | $2,042,468 | $2,506,228 | $1,887,153 | 7 of 16, 44% | 1.33× |
| Third | 16 | $1,740,037 | $1,749,041 | $1,881,820 | $1,557,777 | 8 of 16, 50% | 1.21× |
| Fourth | 16 | $1,288,575 | $1,326,307 | $1,547,677 | $715,622 | 8 of 16, 50% | 2.16× |
| All 64 | 64 | $2,045,001 | $1,884,486 | $3,754,211 | $715,622 | 24 of 64, 38% | 5.25× |
Every figure is as the brand reported it apart from the range column, which is marked *, dividing each row’s highest by its lowest.
The middle two quartiles are tight and the ends are wide. 1.33 and 1.21 times inside them, against 1.48 and 2.16 at the top and bottom *, so 32 of the 64 parks sit between $1,557,777 and $2,506,228.
The median is 92.2% of the average. $1,884,486 against $2,045,001 *, and 24 of 64 reach the mean, a tighter shape than the first quartile’s $3,754,211 top end suggests.
The lowest-selling park billed $715,622. 55.5% of its own quartile’s average and 35.0% of the system average *. The single widest gap in the table sits inside the bottom quartile.
Top performers
What separates the top Altitude Trampoline Park performers
Altitude Trampoline Park splits its locations into groups instead of publishing one average. The best group averaged $3,007,318 a year. The worst averaged $1,288,575. Both run the same brand, on the same agreement, paying the same fees. The middle location sold $1,884,486. The average was $2,045,001. More than half the system is below the number the brand quotes.
Decided before you open
- Trade area and site.A 2.3× gap between bands is not an operating gap. Catchment, daytime population and what sits next door set the ceiling before the first customer arrives.
- What you spend to open.Opening costs $2,105,000 to $3,477,500, a 1.7× range inside one brand. The high end usually buys more capacity, so the cheapest build is not always the cheapest route to the top band.
Live operating levers
- Wages, the dominant line.Wages take 18.7% of sales, against 24.6% kept at the end. Staff productivity, scheduling against demand hour by hour, and the balance of base pay to commission are where this is won. Small movements here move the result more than anything else, because nothing else in the structure is that large.
- Members, the operating driver.This model bills on members. The owner watches how many people join, how many cancel, and what a member spends beyond the plan. It is worth watching every week, because by the time it turns up in a monthly close the quarter is half gone.
- Fees, and where the minimum bites.Fees run about 8.0% of sales. A minimum sits underneath the percentage, so the low-volume location pays the higher effective rate. The brand charges the weakest locations the most. Work out the sales level where the percentage overtakes the minimum and know which side of it you are on, because the answer changes what an extra dollar of sales is worth.
Context you underwrite around
- The reporting screen.64 of 71 locations are behind these figures. Locations open less than the full year, brand-owned, or not meeting the reporting criteria are excluded, so the numbers describe locations that cleared that screen, not the system as a whole.
Costs and profit
24.59% at the profit line, and 47.8 points of range around it.
Three cost ratios cover 29 parks, cost of goods, wages and profit, each as a percentage of gross sales.

| Everything else * | 47.60% | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | $973,420 |
The three filed rows are as the brand reported it; the dollar column and the residual row are marked *.
Wages is twice cost of goods. 18.71% against 9.10% *, and wages runs from 11.31% to 24.48%, a 13.2-point range that is worth $269,327 a year on an average park.
The 8% of franchise fees is a sixth of the residual. $163,600 of the $973,420 left after cost of goods, wages and profit *. The rest is rent, utilities, insurance and administration.
One park in the reporting group ran a profit loss. A margin of −3.76% against a best of 44.04% *, on the average park’s sales those two shares kept are a $76,892 loss and a $900,618 profit.

At the filed share of sales kept the build returns in 4.19 to 6.92 years. $502,866 a year against $2,105,000 and $3,477,500 *, before interest, tax and the cost of replacing the trampolines.
Trampolines alone are 41.6% of a year’s sales. $850,000 against $2,045,001 *, rising to $1,100,000 on a larger park, and this is wearing equipment.
Fees and the system
8% of sales, capped.
The royalty is 6% and a 2% brand fund contribution. The cap is the interesting part: the brand fund and any local advertising requirement together stay at or below 5% of sales, and local advertising currently stands at zero.
