Cleaning-job pricing: a free five-step cost checklist

Before deciding what to charge, account for all known expenses. A profitable estimate is not the same as collected cash.

  1. Record onsite time, travel and setup separately.
  2. Include wages, owner labour, training and applicable payroll costs.
  3. Estimate supplies, equipment wear, replacement materials, and travel expenses.
  4. Document the scope and any extra work beyond a maintenance clean.
  5. Track invoices, partial receipts, refunds and overdue amounts separately from estimated profit.

Example: CA$180 quoted minus CA$92 labour, CA$19 supplies, CA$18 travel, and CA$16 allocated overhead leaves CA$35 before additional costs and applicable taxes. These are fictional amounts, not a recommended price or guaranteed profit.
