Work out cleaning contract pricing instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Cleaning contracts are priced from productivity rates: square metres cleaned per hour, which varies from about 150 for detailed washroom work to 400 for open office floors. Materials are typically 6-10% of labour and margin is applied to the combined cost.
Hours per clean
Hours = Area / Area cleaned per hour
Price
Price = (Labour cost + Materials at 8% of labour) / (1 - Target margin %)
Industry standard time studies by task and surface type. Using one blended rate across washrooms, kitchens and open floor is the most common pricing error.
Only if specified. Paper, soap and bin liners are usually quoted separately because usage depends on the client's occupancy, not on your labour.
