House cleaning price calculator (free)

How it works: estimate the hours a home takes, multiply by the hourly rate your business needs, then adjust for the kind of clean and how often you come. Every number below is a starting point. Change them to match your team, your costs and your area. Nothing you enter leaves this page.

How the calculator works

Time. It adds a base amount for every home, plus time for each bedroom and bathroom. If you enter square feet and that works out to more time, it uses the larger number. Open "Time assumptions" to match how fast your own team works. Time a few real cleans, because your numbers beat anyone's guess.
Adjustments. Deep cleans, move-outs, homes that need extra work and pets all take longer, so they multiply the time. Extras like an inside oven add a fixed amount.
Price. The time is multiplied by your hourly rate, then your minimum charge is applied. The recurring prices use a standard clean with your recurring discounts.

Finding your hourly rate

Your hourly rate is not what you pay a cleaner. It's what one cleaner-hour has to bring in to cover their pay, payroll taxes, supplies, travel between homes, insurance, software and marketing, and still leave a profit. Add up a month of those costs, divide by the cleaner-hours you actually bill, then add your profit margin on top. The full method is in how to price house cleaning.

Quote it, then let clients book it

Once you know your numbers, put them into your booking form so clients see the same price you would have quoted. In Sweepivo you set your rates by bedrooms and bathrooms, square feet, extras and recurring discounts, and clients get an instant price and pick an open time online.

Questions

How do I calculate what to charge for house cleaning?

Estimate how many hours the home takes, multiply by the hourly rate you need to cover pay, supplies, travel and profit, then adjust for condition and how often you clean. The calculator above does this with numbers you can change.

Should recurring cleanings cost less?

Usually yes. A home cleaned every week or two stays in better shape, so each visit is faster. Many businesses pass part of that saving on as a recurring discount.

Should I charge by the hour or a flat rate?

Clients tend to prefer a flat price they know up front. Work it out from your hourly rate, as here, then quote the total. See how to price house cleaning.
