Stop guessing. Enter the home and your costs — CleanQuote builds a price that actually pays you, checks it against typical market rates, and writes the client quote for you.
Pay = what a cleaner-hour must earn (your wage, or your employee's wage + payroll costs). Overhead = insurance, phone, laundry, equipment wear, spread per working hour. Defaults are a typical solo cleaner — change them to yours.

Real numbers from the same formula as the calculator — pick your home size:
900 sq ft 1,200 sq ft 1,500 sq ft 1,800 sq ft 2,000 sq ft 2,400 sq ft 3,000 sq ft 3,600 sq ft
Time first: a standard clean runs at roughly 450 sq ft per cleaner-hour; deep cleans ≈ 275; move-outs ≈ 240; rental turnovers ≈ 550 — plus time for extra bathrooms and bedrooms, adjusted for the home's condition and pets. Then money: (labour + overhead + supplies + travel) ÷ (1 − your margin), with repeat-visit discounts applied to standard and turnover cleans. Finally we compare the result with typical per-sq-ft market ranges, so you can see whether you're under, inside, or above what clients usually pay.
Charging by the job (not by the hour) with a floor built from your own costs is the method established cleaning-business guides recommend — the floor tells you the lowest price that still pays you; the market tells you what you might actually get.
For most independent cleaners, a standard clean of a 1,800 sq ft, 3-bed/2-bath home lands around $150–$250 depending on your area, costs and speed. The honest answer is: whatever covers your pay, overhead, supplies and travel plus a margin — run your own numbers in the calculator above instead of copying a national average.
The big number is your price at your target margin. The range shows a small negotiation band around it, so if a good client asks for a deal you know exactly how far you can go without working for free.
Deep cleans take roughly 1.5–1.8× the time of a standard clean (slower pace plus extra tasks), so prices are typically 50–80% higher. Move-in/move-out cleans of an empty home usually cost more again, because everything — cabinets, appliances, walls — is in scope.
Yes — a maintained home is faster to clean, so 10–20% off for repeat visits is both fair and profitable, and recurring clients are steadier income. The calculator applies the discount only where it makes sense (not to deep or move-out cleans).
