Cleaning jobs are usually priced by time or by the job, and it is easy to underprice when supply costs and overhead — insurance, cleaning products, drive time between jobs — aren't fully accounted for. This calculator adds up labor and supply costs, applies your overhead, and calculates a price at the profit margin or markup you want.
Calculate labor cost (workers × hours × hourly rate), add supply/material costs, then add a share of overhead and your desired profit. This calculator does that math and gives you a specific price to quote.
Usually just by the labor hours and any extra supplies involved — enter the actual time and materials for the job you are pricing (standard, deep clean, or add-on services like windows) and the calculator handles the rest the same way.
Common overhead for a cleaning business includes insurance/bonding, cleaning equipment, vehicle costs, and admin time — spread across jobs as a percentage or a flat allocation, whichever this calculator's overhead setting fits your business.
Yes. Enter the labor hours and supplies for one visit to get a price per visit, then multiply by the visits per month for a monthly contract price. Price periodic work such as floor stripping or carpet cleaning as its own job and list it separately on the bid.
Price one visit from its labor hours and supplies, then multiply by the number of service nights in a month. Count nights rather than weeks: five nights a week is about 21.7 visits in an average month.
