Use case

When this tool helps

  • Test a quote before saying yes to a customer.
  • Compare labour-heavy jobs with jobs where travel, supplies or platform fees are the bigger issue.
  • Decide whether to raise the price, reduce scope, add a minimum call-out or decline low-margin work.

Assumptions

Change the defaults

  • Owner labour still has a cost; do not treat your own time as free because cash has not left the account.
  • Add expected re-clean risk, parking, payment fees and stock replacement where they apply.
  • A profitable single job can still be weak if it blocks better repeat work or creates heavy admin.

Calculator FAQ

Common questions

Why can a busy cleaning business still make little profit?

Profit disappears when quotes ignore travel, supplies, payment fees, re-cleans, cancellations, admin time and replacement equipment. Job-level margin checks help you spot that before accepting work.

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.
