Your assumptions make the estimate
A cleaning price starts with the work you expect to do. Total the time each cleaner will spend on the job. Add the costs you expect to incur. Include a share of business overhead where appropriate.
The examples here explain the calculation. They do not tell you what cleaners in your area charge. A target margin depends on your entered costs and cannot guarantee the result of a job.
Review property condition, access and the agreed scope before sharing a final offer. These tools do not book work or send requests to your customers. Your calculator inputs stay in your browser and are not saved by TallyCleanOS.
