How the house cleaning price calculator works
Cleaning hours are everyone's time added together. Two cleaners for 2.5 hours is 5 cleaning hours.
Drive time is paid time too, for everyone in the car. Supplies and driving cost cover products, fuel and wear.
The price is set so your profit margin is what you asked for, rounded up to the nearest $5.
Tips from the trade
- Time a few of your own cleans room by room. Most cleaners underestimate bathrooms and kitchens.
- Price the first clean separately. A home that hasn't had regular cleaning takes much longer.
- Set a lowest price per visit. Small homes still cost you the drive.

House cleaning price calculator questions
How much should I charge for house cleaning?
Many cleaners charge roughly $120 to $250 for a regular visit to a typical home, more for deep and move-out cleans, but the right price depends on your time and costs. This calculator works from your own numbers.
Should I charge by the hour or by the home?
Most cleaners charge by the home. Customers like a set price, and as you get faster, you keep the difference. Use your hourly cost to set it.
What profit margin should a cleaning business aim for?
Many owners aim for 20% to 35% after paying themselves and their team.
