How this calculator works
The estimate adds a base visit charge, a charge per bedroom and bathroom, and a small per-square-foot amount. That subtotal is multiplied by the service type: deep cleans ×1.6, move-in/move-out ×1.9, and vacation rental turnovers ×1.15. Recurring frequencies then apply a discount (10% monthly, 15% every two weeks, 20% weekly). Add-ons are flat amounts.
Make it match your business
Open "Adjust your rates" and change the base and per-room numbers until the price for a home you've cleaned before matches what you'd actually charge. From then on, the calculator gives consistent prices for new homes. Read our guide to pricing house cleaning for how to find your hourly floor.
Frequently asked
Should I charge by the hour or a flat rate?
Flat per-visit prices are usually easier for clients to accept, because they know the cost upfront. Use your hourly target internally to set the flat price.
Why is move-out so much more?
Empty homes expose every surface, and the agreed move-out checklist may include cabinet and appliance interiors. Estimate the labor for that scope; the calculator's multiplier is an example, not a universal rule. See the move-out cleaning checklist and standard vs. deep cleaning guide.
