Pool Details

Pool size (gallons)

Surface type

Plaster absorbs more chlorine and needs brushing 2x per visit on average. Fiberglass is the lowest-maintenance surface per stop.

Visits per month

Weekly service = 4 visits. Biweekly = 2 visits. Weekly customers typically need less catch-up chemical work per stop.

Services Per Visit

Skim surface (+10 min) Brush walls (+8 min) Vacuum floor (+15 min) Chemical test & adjust (+10 min) Filter backwash / clean (+20 min) Equipment check (+5 min)

Estimated time per visit: 20 min

Total on-site time drives labor cost per stop. Plaster pools add roughly 8 minutes of extra brushing time.

Cost Inputs

Chemical cost per visit

Typical for a 15k-gal pool in good condition. Heavier pools or algae recovery can run $20-40 per visit.

Tech hourly rate

Drive + Overhead

Drive time per stop (min)

Time between stops. Dense routes may average 5 min; scattered routes can run 20+ min per pool.

Fuel per stop

Overhead per stop

Your share of insurance, software, licensing, and other fixed costs spread across all stops.

Target

Target gross margin

The percentage of the customer's monthly payment that remains after direct costs (chemicals, labor, drive). Most profitable pool routes target 40 to 55 percent.

What this calculator factors in

Pool service pricing breaks down when owners quote from gut feel instead of actual cost. These are the eight variables that determine whether a route is profitable or just busy.

Pool size and type — the gallon capacity and surface type (plaster, vinyl, fiberglass) since chemical demand and scrub time vary significantly between them
Service frequency — weekly or biweekly, since weekly customers require less catch-up chemical work per visit
Services included — which combination of skimming, brushing, vacuuming, chemical testing and adjustment, filter backwash, and equipment check is included in the price
Chemical cost per visit — the actual cost of chlorine, algaecide, clarifier, and any other chemicals dosed per visit based on pool size and condition
Labor time per stop — the estimated minutes on site, converted to labor cost at the tech's hourly rate
Drive time and fuel — the per-stop cost to get there, which compounds across a dense route or kills margins on a scattered one
Desired margin — the percentage of gross revenue the business keeps after direct costs, which drives the markup above break-even
Monthly recurring total — the price the customer sees on the recurring invoice, with a breakdown of what is driving the number

Auto-price pool routes with Claver

Claver builds the route from booked pool accounts, pushes the day's stops to the tech's phone, and runs recurring billing at the end of each cycle without manual invoicing. The tech logs chemicals dosed per pool during the visit, so chemical cost is tracked per account automatically and margin erosion from heavy-dosing pools shows up in the reports before it kills the route's profitability.

Pool service pricing calculator — FAQ

How do I price pool service?

Start with the direct cost of the visit — labor at your hourly rate for the time on site, chemicals at actual cost, plus your share of drive time and fuel. Apply a markup that covers overhead and delivers your target margin. Most residential weekly pool service in warm climates runs between $80 and $150 per month depending on pool size, local chemical prices, and how dense the route is.

Is this calculator really free?

Yes, the pool service pricing calculator is free with no signup, no credit card, and no data stored on a server, so the pool and cost details stay on the device.

Does pool size affect the price significantly?

Yes, a 30,000-gallon pool uses roughly twice the chemicals of a 15,000-gallon pool and often takes 15 to 20 minutes longer to brush and vacuum. Pool size is one of the primary inputs in this calculator.
