Free commercial cleaning bid calculator
Turn a building's square footage and cleaning frequency into labour hours, cost and a monthly price. Then check any price, yours or a competitor's, against price per square foot and price per labour hour. Nothing is sent anywhere: it all runs in your browser.
Free quick bid calculator
Rough monthly price for routine office cleaning. Every rate is an editable assumption, not a market quote. Your crew's timed speed beats any default.
Monthly price: -
Labour hours / month: - · Price per visit: - · Cost / month: -
Assumes 4 minutes per restroom fixture and 52/12 = 4.33 weeks per month. Excludes travel time, consumables, periodic work. The full Bid Kit spreadsheet handles room-by-room rates, travel, consumables, rounding and a minimum-rate check.
Price check: is this monthly price sane?
Enter a monthly price and the building's details to see what it works out to per square foot and per labour hour.
Per sq ft per month: - · Per visit: - · Per labour hour: -
Compare the per-labour-hour figure with your loaded wage (wage + payroll burden) plus supplies, overhead and margin. If it barely covers the loaded wage, the bid loses money.
How to use it
Cleanable area: the square footage your crew actually cleans, not the whole lease. Production rate: square feet one person cleans per hour. Time your own crew on a real visit; the default is only a placeholder. Restroom fixtures: toilets, urinals and sinks, at 4 minutes each. Payroll burden: employer taxes, workers' comp and insurance on top of the wage.
The quick calculator treats the building as one area. Real buildings mix carpeted offices, hard floors, restrooms and break rooms, each at a different rate. See the guides for a worked example, or use the Bid Kit: a room-by-room spreadsheet for up to 15 areas, plus a 30-question site-walk checklist and proposal templates, $29.
