Planning estimate only. Defaults and multipliers are editable starting estimates for planning only. They are not market data, not a formal quote, and not financial advice. Adjust the labor rate, hours, and costs to match your own business.
How the estimate is calculated
This is a simple cost-plus model: estimate the time, cost that time, add supplies, then add your margin. Nothing here is drawn from a market survey. The time values are round-number starting assumptions that you should replace with your own timings as you complete real jobs.
1. Hours
Sizes entered in m² are converted to square feet first (1 m² = 10.7639 sq ft), so the result is the same in either unit. Hours are labor hours: with two cleaners, time on site is roughly half.
| Setting | Starting assumption |
|---|---|
| Cleaning type | Standard ×1.0 · Deep ×1.5 · Move-out ×1.75 |
| Frequency | One-time ×1.0 · Monthly ×0.95 · Biweekly ×0.90 · Weekly ×0.85 |
| Extras | Oven +0.5 h · Fridge +0.4 h · Interior windows +0.5 h · Pets +0.25 h |
2. Why frequency changes the price
A home that is cleaned every week usually needs less work per visit than one cleaned once. The calculator models that as a small reduction in cleaning time (5% to 15%), which lowers your cost and so lowers the suggested price. Your target margin is not cut. Extras and travel are not reduced.
The first visit to a new recurring client often takes longer than later ones. Consider estimating that first visit as a one-time or deep clean.
3. Cost, price, and profit
Because the price is rounded up to a whole unit, the margin shown can be slightly above your target. The price range is 10% below to 15% above the suggested price. It is a simple band to allow for the condition of the home, not a statement about what other businesses charge.
What the calculator leaves out
It does not include taxes (such as sales tax, VAT, or GST), insurance, payment fees, equipment, marketing, or other overheads unless you build them into your hourly rate, supply cost, or margin. It also knows nothing about prices in your area. Treat the result as a floor to check your quote against, then use your own judgment.
