Start for $1What a cleaning price should include
Most cleaning businesses undercharge because they estimate from the job total instead of building up from costs. A complete price captures every dollar the job must recover before the business earns anything.
- Property size and type. Total square footage and whether it is a residential home, an apartment, or a commercial space, since cleaning time scales directly with area and traffic type
- Service level. Standard clean, deep clean, or move-in/move-out, since a deep clean takes two to three times as long as a maintenance visit and carries different supply costs
- Number of rooms and bathrooms. Bathrooms add consistent time to every visit, and bedrooms multiply the linen and staging work on a make-ready
- Cleaning supplies cost per visit. The mop pads, trash bags, toilet paper, cleaning products, and any specialty chemicals used per job, tracked separately so markup is applied correctly
- Crew size and labor time. How many cleaners are on site and the total expected hours, which is the primary cost driver in cleaning
- Frequency discount. The percentage reduction for recurring weekly or biweekly customers compared to one-time or monthly, since recurring customers reduce booking and re-selling overhead
- Drive time and vehicle cost. The per-job cost to get there and back, which adds 20 to 30 minutes of unrecoverable time on every stop
- Target gross margin. The margin the business wants to keep after all direct costs, which sets the price floor above break-even

Cleaning pricing calculator FAQ
How do I price a cleaning job?
Calculate the labor cost from the number of cleaners and expected hours at your hourly rate, add supply cost at markup, add drive time and any overhead share, then apply your target gross margin to arrive at the price. A standard residential clean in most markets runs between $100 and $200 depending on home size, with deep cleans and move-ins priced 60 to 100 percent higher.
Is this calculator really free?
Yes, the cleaning pricing calculator is free with no signup, no credit card, and no data stored, so the property and cost details stay on the device.
How much should I discount for recurring customers?
Most cleaning businesses offer a 10 to 20 percent discount for weekly customers and 5 to 10 percent for biweekly compared to the one-time rate. The discount is justified because recurring customers cost less to acquire, cancel less often, and create predictable scheduling that reduces drive time between stops.
