Commercial cleaning pricing worksheet
Print this page or save it as a PDF, and fill it in for each building you bid. The steps follow our guide on how to price commercial cleaning jobs.
1. The building
Client: Address:
Square feet: Restrooms: Floors:
Visits per week: Time window:
2. Time per visit
| Area | Minutes per visit |
|---|---|
| Entrance and lobby | |
| Restrooms | |
| Offices and workspaces | |
| Break room or kitchen | |
| Halls, stairs and common areas | |
| Setup, travel inside the building, lockup | |
| Total hours per visit (A) |
3. Monthly labor
| Visits per month (B) = visits per week × 4.33 | |
| Labor hours per month (C) = A × B | |
| Loaded labor cost per hour (D): wage + payroll taxes + workers' comp + benefits | |
| Labor cost per month (E) = C × D |
4. Other costs per month
| Supplies and equipment (F) | |
| Overhead share (G): insurance, vehicles, software, admin | |
| Total cost per month (H) = E + F + G |
5. Price
| Target profit margin (M), e.g. 0.20 for 20% | |
| Monthly price = H ÷ (1 − M) | |
| Price per visit = monthly price ÷ B | |
| Price per sq ft per month = monthly price ÷ square feet |
