Enter the building. Get cleaning hours per visit, a defensible price range, and — if you tell us what you were going to charge — what that price actually pays you per labor hour. Every number shows its work.
We'll email you these numbers so they're on your phone in the building. No account, no gate — the calculator stays free either way.
The number above tells you what buildings like this tend to pay. It cannot tell you whether you make money at that price — because it doesn't know your wage, your payroll burden, your insurance, your vehicle, or how many billable hours you're spreading overhead across.
Two companies can bid the identical building. One clears 22%. The other works twelve months for free and doesn't find out until the year is over.
Production rates. Time is estimated from published industry ranges for general commercial cleaning — roughly 3,000–4,000 sq ft per hour for basic open office work, dropping sharply for detail-heavy and regulated space. Rates are adjusted for facility type, soil load and service frequency, then restroom fixture time and travel are added on top.
Pricing. The range applies blended market billing rates of roughly $35–65 per labor hour, which sit inside the commonly cited $30–75 band. The cross-check divides the price you had in mind by the labor hours the job needs, because that is the only comparison that means anything — a price is only high or low relative to the work it has to pay for.
On rates per square foot. We show $/sq ft per visit as information and deliberately do not grade you against it. Published per-square-foot benchmarks disagree with each other and, more importantly, with themselves: sources that put an office at roughly $0.09 per square foot per visit imply well over $150 per labor hour on the same page they quote $30–75 an hour. Rather than pick one and present it as settled, we leave the number visible and check the thing that holds up.
What it can't do. It doesn't know your local labor market, your equipment, your crew's actual speed, or the specific scope in the RFP. It is a starting point for a walkthrough, not a substitute for one. Treat every output as a hypothesis to verify on site.
