Cleaning Business Quote Calculator

If you are starting or running a small cleaning business, one of the hardest parts is knowing what to charge.

Charging too low can keep you busy but unprofitable. Charging without a system can make every quote feel like a guess. The Cleaning Business Quote Calculator gives you a simple way to estimate residential cleaning jobs using clear inputs and automatic calculations.

Use the workbook to enter job details such as square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, job type, estimated hours, supply cost, travel miles, extra fees, discounts, profit margin, tax rate, and minimum job price. The calculator then helps organize the numbers into a suggested customer quote.
