The Cleaner's Profit Formula: How to Calculate What You're Really Worth and Get Paid for It

How to Price Your Cleaning Business Correctly?

One of the biggest challenges when starting or running a cleaning business is knowing how much to charge.

Should you charge by the hour? Should you charge a fixed price for the whole job? How much should you charge for a deep clean or an end-of-lease clean? And most importantly, how do you make sure you are not working hard without making a profit?

These are questions many cleaners face.

It is easy to look at what other cleaning businesses are charging and simply copy their prices. But what works for one business may not work for another. Your costs, experience, speed, location, travel time, equipment, supplies, business expenses and desired profit are all different.

That is why this ebook is not about giving you one “perfect” price.

The numbers and examples in this book are estimates and are provided to help you understand the pricing process. They are not fixed prices that every cleaning business should use.

The most important thing you will learn is how to calculate your own numbers.

Think of the formulas in this book as a tool. Once you understand the formula, you can put in your own costs, your own labour rate, your own expenses and your own desired profit.
