Loaded rate = wage × (1 + burden) + overhead ÷ monthly billable hours. Break-even = labor + supplies + miles × 70¢. Price = break-even ÷ (1 − margin). Example values are placeholders, not market data.
Nothing here is saved to a server. Change the examples to your numbers.
The three numbers: what an hour of cleaning really costs you once payroll burden and overhead are in; what this job costs you in labor, supplies and driving; and the price at the margin you pick. The pricing formula explains each line. If you have a crew and the margin looks thinner than you expected, the margin guide is about exactly that.
Questions owners ask
- Is this calculator free?
- Yes. No account, nothing saved to a server. Change the example values to yours and the numbers update as you type.
- Does it tell me the going rate for house cleaning?
- No. It tells you what a job costs you and what it comes to at the margin you choose. That is your floor. What the market pays is a separate question.
- What is the 70 cents a mile?
- A placeholder for fuel and wear on the vehicle, per mile driven for the job. Change it in the full calculator if your number is different.
- What happens after I have my number?
- Binderlane can turn it into a branded quote and text it to the client as a link with an Accept button. The first three are free to send. The math stays free either way.
