About Cleaning Contract Pricing Calculator

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.

Formulas

Hours per clean

Hours = Area / Area cleaned per hour

Price

Price = (Labour cost + Materials at 8% of labour) / (1 - Target margin %)

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 3 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do productivity rates come from?

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.

Should consumables be included?

Only if specified. Paper, soap and bin liners are usually quoted separately because usage depends on the client's occupancy, not on your labour.
