Start with a base price, then add per-room or per-square-foot charges. Apply a multiplier for cleaning type (standard, deep, move-out) and condition (light, standard, heavy). Add any selected extras (oven, windows, laundry) and ensure the total meets your minimum charge. The calculator does all of this automatically.

Commercial cleaning rates per square foot typically range from $0.05–$0.20 depending on service type, frequency, and local market. Office cleaning usually sits at the lower end; deep cleans or specialized spaces run higher. Use the calculator to build a rate based on your actual labor costs and desired margin.

Commercial cleaning often uses square footage or flat-rate pricing rather than room count, and contracts tend to be recurring (daily, weekly, biweekly). Labor efficiency matters more at scale — the calculator's labor and profit section helps you see whether a job is worth taking at your quoted price.

Key factors: property size (sq ft or rooms), cleaning frequency, type of service (standard vs. deep), condition of the space, number of cleaners, and add-ons (windows, floors, restrooms). All of these are adjustable in the pricing setup.

Enter your hourly labor rate and number of cleaners in the Pricing Setup modal. The calculator estimates job duration from your base hours, hours-per-bedroom, and hours-per-bathroom settings, then multiplies by your crew size and rate to show labor cost and profit on every estimate.

Most cleaning businesses aim for 20–40% gross profit after labor. The Labor & Profit card in the calculator shows your margin on every job so you can spot underpriced quotes before they go out.

Flat-rate pricing is generally better for clients (predictable cost) and for your business (rewards efficiency). Hourly works for highly variable jobs or first-time deep cleans. The calculator uses a flat-rate model with time estimates on the side so you can verify the job is priced right.

Apply a recurring discount (the calculator defaults to a 0.85× multiplier — 15% off) to reflect lower time-per-visit as the space stays maintained. Adjust this in Pricing Setup to match your actual discount policy.

After entering the job details, click "Download Proposal PDF" to generate a formatted proposal with your business name, client name, date, full price breakdown, and total. No account required.

Window cleaning, floor waxing/stripping, restroom deep clean, and inside appliances are the most common high-value add-ons in commercial settings. Add custom line items in Pricing Setup to reflect your specific service menu.

The calculator estimates hours from your configured base hours, per-bedroom (or per-room), and per-bathroom inputs, then adjusts for service type and condition. Review and fine-tune these in Pricing Setup to match your crew's real pace.

The estimate reflects your exact pricing inputs, so it's a single number — not a range. The Low/Typical/High display on pet-sitter and similar tools reflects wage data variability; in this calculator, your configured rates produce one precise output.
