Pricing questions
How much should I charge for house cleaning?+
Most US cleaning businesses charge between $35 and $55 per labor-hour. For a 1,500 sq ft, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, a standard one-time clean usually costs $150 to $300 (Angi), and Thumbtack's average is $209 per visit. Deep cleans cost about 1.5× a standard clean, and move-out cleans about 1.8×.
Should I charge by the hour or a flat rate?+
Quote a flat price and work it out from hours. Clients want to know the total before you start, and you need to know the job pays for your time. That's how this calculator works: it estimates labor-hours first, then turns them into a price.
How much of a discount should I give recurring clients?+
Common discounts are about 20% for weekly, 15% for every-two-weeks and 10% for monthly service. Recurring homes stay cleaner, so each visit takes less time. Don't discount deep or move-out cleans.
What profit margin should a cleaning business have?+
Aim for at least 45% gross margin once you pay cleaners, payroll taxes and supplies. Below 30% you have no room for drive time, call-backs or growth. The profit check in the calculator shows where you stand.
Is this calculator accurate for my city?+
It's a starting point based on national price guides. Use the market setting for lower-cost areas or big metros, then check 3–5 local competitors' prices before you commit.
