Cleaning quote
Paid hours = on-site cleaner-hours + additional laundry cleaner-hours + paid travel cleaner-hours. Loaded hourly rate = base hourly cost × (1 + burden percentage / 100). Labor = paid hours × loaded hourly rate.
Included cost = labor + cleaning supplies + laundry purchases + guest restock + vehicle expenses + allocated overhead + other costs. Target price = included cost / (1 − target margin / 100). An optional rounding increment rounds the quote upward.
Margin and markup
Contribution = selling price − included cost. Margin = contribution / selling price × 100. Markup = contribution / included cost × 100. A zero denominator is reported as undefined. Target margin must be below 100%.
Estimate versus actual
Cost variance = actual cost − estimated cost. Revenue variance = actual revenue − quoted price. Contribution variance = actual contribution − estimated contribution. Use consistent currency, tax treatment and cost categories.
Examples, currency and accuracy
Pre-filled numbers are synthetic examples. They are not average prices, minimum wages, tax rates or recommended margins. Currency selection changes formatting only. Floating-point calculations use unrounded intermediate values; displayed money uses two decimal places.
What we verify
Automated checks cover known examples, zero denominators, below-cost prices, invalid inputs, crew-hour arithmetic and upward rounding. These checks establish calculation behavior, not the completeness of your costs or a viable market price.
Editorial process
Content is prepared with AI assistance, reviewed for consistency with the tools, and checked using worked numerical examples. We do not invent customer stories, earnings, local rate surveys or cleaning credentials. Guides describe planning approaches rather than legal, tax or accounting advice.
