Cleaning Business Pricing Calculator

How this calculator works

Every part of the job is measured on its own, then multiplied by the hourly rate you want to earn and adjusted for condition, access and add-ons. It doesn't just copy what the cheapest operator charges.

• Bathrooms add about 36 minutes each. They are the most labour-dense room in the house and the most commonly underquoted.
• Bedrooms add about 21 minutes each — less than a bathroom, but they add up on larger homes.
• Floor area adds roughly a minute per 17 sq ft, covering living space, hallways and circulation.
• Service type scales everything — a deep clean runs about 1.6× a standard visit, a move-out about 1.8×.
• Condition adds 18–50%, because buildup drives labour time far more than square footage does.
• Crew size shortens elapsed time but not billable labour hours — a common pricing mistake.

Sourcing: Ranges reflect published 2026 Metro Vancouver market data — standard residential cleaning generally $40–$60 per labour hour for insured operators, deep cleans roughly 1.5–2× standard, and move-outs commonly $200–$600 flat depending on size and condition. Uninsured or cash-only operators typically sit $25–$35/hr. This is an estimating tool, not a quote or financial advice — always walk the property before committing to a price.
