How do I quote a cleaning job?
Estimate realistic labour time, add supplies, travel and parking, then add overhead and profit margin. Written quotes should state scope, exclusions, expiry date and what could change the price.

Use case
When this tool helps
- Build a written quote from labour time, materials, travel and overhead instead of copying a competitor rate.
- Compare one-off and repeat work by looking at weekly, monthly and annual values.
- Spot short jobs where travel or parking would make a low headline price unsustainable.
Assumptions
Change the defaults
- The calculator does not decide what a customer will accept; it shows what your inputs produce.
- Add exclusions, access assumptions, cancellation terms and quote expiry to the written quote.
- For fixed-price work, revisit the assumptions after the first job so repeated mistakes do not compound.

Common questions
Should cleaners charge hourly or fixed price?
Hourly pricing is easier while learning your timings. Fixed-price quotes can look more professional, but only if you understand task time, travel, materials and re-clean risk.
Important assumptions
These figures are planning estimates. Replace defaults with your own supplier quotes, insurance terms, travel costs, wage costs and tax/accounting advice before making business decisions.
