✦ How it works
The method, step by step
Market rates tell you the ceiling. Your costs tell you the floor. Every number above is an example: replace it with your own.
Labor
Hours on site × people on the job × the pay you want per person per hour.
Job costs
Add supplies, driving (round-trip miles × cost per mile) and a share of your monthly overhead.
Profit
Add your profit on top of costs. That total is your cost floor: the lowest price to accept.
Market check
Compare with what customers pay per square foot for that type of clean. If your floor is below the market, start at the bottom of the market range, not at your floor.

✦ Questions
Pricing questions
How much should I charge to clean a 2,000 sq ft house?
Angi’s standard-clean rate of $0.10–$0.20 per sq ft gives $200–$400, and HomeGuide lists $110–$320 for a 3-bed, 2-bath, 2,000 sq ft home. In our guide’s example the cost floor is about $141, so starting at $200 leaves room for profit.
Should I charge by the hour or a flat rate?
For recurring homes, a flat rate is usually better: customers get a predictable bill and you keep the benefit as you get faster. Use your hourly target behind the scenes to set the flat rate, as this calculator does.
What should I charge for the first clean?
Many businesses price the first visit as a deep clean. Switch the type of clean to “Deep clean” to see that market range, and put in the longer time the first visit takes.
What does the cost per mile cover?
The default is the IRS business mileage rate, 76 cents per mile from July 1, 2026. It is meant to cover fuel, wear and depreciation, not just gas.
