House Cleaning Job Pricing Formula

Cleaning businesses typically price a job using a base square-footage rate, then adjust for cleaning intensity (standard, deep, or move-out) and add per-room surcharges for bedrooms and bathrooms, which take disproportionately more time than open floor space. Supplies are added as a flat cost per visit.

Base Price = Home Size (sq ft) × Base Rate per Sq Ft ($0.10)
Adjusted Base Price = Base Price × Cleaning Type Multiplier (Standard ×1.0, Deep ×1.5, Move-Out ×1.8)
Room Surcharge = (Bedrooms × $5) + (Bathrooms × $10)
Suggested Job Price = Adjusted Base Price + Room Surcharge + Supplies Cost
Effective Hourly Rate = (Suggested Job Price − Supplies Cost) ÷ (Estimated Hours × Number of Cleaners)
Monthly Revenue = Suggested Job Price × Visits per Month (based on frequency)

Industry data shows standard cleaning typically runs $0.10–$0.15 per square foot, deep cleaning $0.15–$0.30 per square foot, and move-out cleaning at the higher end of that range or above. This calculator applies multipliers to a $0.10/sq ft base so you can quickly compare cleaning types for the same home.

How to Use the House Cleaning Service Pricing Calculator

1

Enter the home's square footage

This forms the base of the price estimate — larger homes take longer to clean and cost more.

2

Enter the number of bedrooms and bathrooms

Bathrooms and bedrooms add a per-room surcharge since they require more detailed, time-consuming work per square foot.

3

Select the cleaning type

Standard (regular maintenance), Deep (intensive one-time clean), or Move-Out (full reset for tenants/buyers).

4

Enter your estimated job hours and number of cleaners

This is used to translate the suggested price into an effective hourly rate.

5

Enter your supplies cost and select frequency

Add the flat cost of cleaning products per visit, then choose one-time, weekly, biweekly, or monthly to see recurring revenue.

6
