Window cleaning price calculator
Build a window cleaning quote the way most residential cleaners do: count the glass, price each type, add second-story surcharges and screens. The calculator then checks the quote against your cost floor, your time on site and 2026 market rates.
The example already filled in is the 2-story house from our per-pane pricing guide: 16 double-hung windows, 2 picture windows, a sliding door and 16 screens.

✦ 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.
Count the glass
A double-hung or slider window is 2 panes. Price picture windows and sliding doors per unit, because one big pane takes longer than a standard one.
Add surcharges and extras
Add a surcharge for each second-story window and a price per screen, so the customer sees each line.
Check your floor
Hours on site × your hourly target, plus travel, supplies and overhead share. If the quote is below it, the job loses money.
Check the market and your hourly rate
Compare with $8–$16 per window, both sides, and see what the job pays per hour on site after costs. Time your own jobs: the hourly figure depends on it more than on any published rate.

✦ Questions
Pricing questions
How much should I charge per pane?
National guides put it at $4–$8 per pane. Start near the middle, time your first jobs, and adjust so your hourly rate after costs covers your pay, costs and profit.
Does the per-pane price include both sides?
It depends on the company, so say it on every quote. This calculator prices panes inside and out; if you price per side, a standard window cleaned on both sides counts twice.
How do I price French or divided-light windows?
Per-pane pricing gets unfair fast on divided lites: at $5 a lite, a 12-lite window is $60, while Angi lists multi-pane windows at $8–$15. Use a lower rate per small lite, or price the whole window as one unit with a surcharge.
What minimum charge should I set?
Guides list $75–$150 (Angi) to $100–$250 (HomeGuide). Set yours so a small job still covers your drive, setup and at least an hour at your target pay.
