How to Price a Cleaning Job Without Forgetting Your Overhead

A quote built only on hours spent cleaning leaves money on the table. Before you price your next job, make sure it accounts for every cost of doing the work.

9 costs to include before you price your next cleaning job

Your time spent cleaning
Employee wages and applicable employer payroll costs
Cleaning products used on the job
Wear and replacement costs for equipment
Travel time and transportation expenses
Insurance, licenses, and business fees
Administrative time, including scheduling and bookkeeping
Your share of recurring overhead, such as phone, software, rent, and advertising
A profit margin that helps your business grow

Your quote needs to cover more than the hours spent cleaning. Account for the full cost of doing the work, then include profit so each job contributes to a sustainable business.

The Commercial Cleaning App helps you add up these costs for each job, so your quote reflects what the work really takes.
