Price on three things at once: bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage. A standard clean of a three-bed, two-bath, 1,800 sq ft home at $15 a bedroom, $20 a bathroom and $0.03 a square foot is 3 × $15 + 2 × $20 + 1,800 × $0.03 = $139 before any multiplier.
That $139 base is the standard, monthly price. A one-time clean carries a 1.25× premium, so the same home is 139 × 1.25 = $173.75. Recurring visits cost less per clean: weekly is 139 × 0.9 = $125.10 and biweekly is 139 × 0.95 = $132.05. A deep clean applies 1.5× and a move-out 1.75× on top of the base.
Add-ons are flat and added after the multipliers (inside the fridge $25, inside the oven $30, interior windows $40, laundry $15), so a standard one-time clean with the oven and fridge is 173.75 + 30 + 25 = $228.75. Every quote is floored at your minimum charge, and the price list covers common home sizes at each frequency so you can publish it as-is.
The formula
The base is your per-room and per-square-foot rates added up. That base is multiplied for the type of clean and the frequency, then flat add-ons are added, and the total is floored at your minimum charge. Nothing rounds until the final total.
base = bedrooms × rate + bathrooms × rate + sqft × rate
price = base × type × frequency + add-ons
total = max(minimum charge, price)Clean-type multipliers default to standard 1.0, deep 1.5, move-out 1.75, and post-construction 2.0. Frequency multipliers default to weekly 0.9, biweekly 0.95, monthly 1.0, and one-time 1.25, so a standing client pays less per visit than a one-off. The tool also estimates the job's time and shows the effective hourly rate, so you can see when a price falls below your target rate for the work.
Common questions
How much does house cleaning cost?
There is no single number. It depends on the home’s size, the type of clean, and the rates you set. A price built from your per-bedroom, per-bathroom and per-square-foot rates lands close enough to book without seeing the home. Set your rates in the calculator and it prices any home at any frequency, then prints a list you can publish.
How do I price a house cleaning job by bedrooms and bathrooms?
Charge a rate for each bedroom, each bathroom and each square foot, add them, then multiply for the type of clean and the frequency. A 3-bed, 2-bath, 1,800 sq ft home at $15 a bedroom, $20 a bathroom and $0.03 a square foot is a $139 base. That base becomes the price once you apply the clean-type and frequency multipliers.
How much more should a deep clean or move-out cost?
A deep clean takes longer than a standard clean, and a move-out or post-construction clean longer still. This calculator defaults to 1.5× for a deep clean, 1.75× for a move-out and 2× for post-construction, applied to the standard base. Adjust the multipliers to match how long each type actually takes you.
Should recurring cleans cost less than a one-time clean?
Yes. A home cleaned every week or two stays cleaner, so each visit is faster, and the standing booking is worth more to you. The calculator discounts recurring visits (weekly 0.9×, biweekly 0.95×, monthly 1.0×) and adds a 1.25× premium to a one-time clean. That is why weekly is the cheapest column on the price list and a one-off is the most expensive.
How do I charge for extras like inside the oven or laundry?
Price each extra on its own and add it to the job: this calculator uses $25 for inside the fridge, $30 for the oven, $40 for interior windows and $15 for laundry. Add-ons are flat: they are added after the clean-type and frequency multipliers, not scaled by them. The customer picks the ones they want and the total updates.
How do I set a minimum charge for house cleaning?
A small home can price below what it costs you to show up, so a minimum charge protects a short visit. Set the minimum to cover your travel and setup, and the calculator floors any quote and any price-list cell at that number. The tool also shows the effective hourly rate so you can see when a price is too low for the time it takes.
