Cleaning Cost Calculator

Start with the home's square footage multiplied by a per-square-foot rate for the type of clean, add a small charge for each bedroom and bathroom, then apply a discount for recurring visits. The result is your estimated price per visit. This calculator does all of that automatically and shows a sensible range around the number.

A common starting point is around $0.10 to $0.15 per square foot for a standard clean, $0.18 to $0.22 for a deep clean, and $0.25 or more for move in/out and post-construction work. These are starting rates — adjust them for your local market, the home's condition, and your own costs.

A standard clean covers regular upkeep — surfaces, floors, bathrooms, and kitchen. A deep clean adds detail work like baseboards, inside appliances, grout, and built-up grime, so it takes longer and costs more per square foot. Move in/out and post-construction cleans are deeper still.

A home cleaned weekly or bi-weekly stays in better shape, so each visit is faster than a one-time clean of the same space. Passing some of that savings on as a discount encourages clients to sign up for recurring service, which gives you steady, predictable work.

Yes. A minimum charge makes sure a small or far-away job still covers your travel, setup, and supplies. This calculator never prices a visit below the minimum you set, so tiny square footage won't leave you working for free.

Bathrooms and bedrooms take focused time beyond raw floor area — bathrooms especially, with fixtures, mirrors, and sanitizing. This tool adds a flat charge per room on top of the square-footage base so larger room counts are priced fairly.

Yes. Enter the office's square footage, pick the cleaning type, and set the frequency for the contract. The room add-ons are aimed at homes, so you can lower or zero them for commercial spaces and rely mostly on the square-footage rate.
