Cleaning business pricing calculator

By Jordan Reese (pen name) · Last updated 2026-11-10 · How we compare

Estimates only. This calculator runs in your browser; nothing you enter is sent or stored. It has no built-in prices. You supply your own rates, and we only show public reference figures with their source.

Start from what a job costs you, add your target profit margin, and get the price that covers both. Switch to commercial mode to price a recurring office or janitorial account by square footage. Profit margin here means profit as a share of the selling price. It is not a markup added on top of cost. The result names both, and the recommended quote always uses the margin.

Your coefficients. Wage, burden, fixed costs, hours, supplies, job count, margin, square footage, and production rate start blank. The result is arithmetic on those entries. It is not a market quote and not a typical price for a US or Canadian cleaning company.

Sourced reference, optional. The two wage buttons insert a BLS occupational median. That figure is a US employee wage for the named occupation, not a customer price, not a Canadian wage, and not a loaded labor cost. Leave the wage blank if you do not want that reference. Software presets insert a vendor's published monthly base price; per-user extras are not included in that preset.

Enter the wage before that percent. If the number you have is already loaded (wage plus taxes and insurance), put the extra percent at 0. Entering a loaded wage and a percent again counts the burden twice. Reference wages (BLS OEWS, May 2025 estimates, released May 15, 2026): . Sources: news release, 37-2012, 37-2011, read 2026-11-08.
