Commercial Cleaning Bid Calculator
Bid an office or building cleaning contract with real numbers. Enter the square footage, how fast your crew cleans and your costs to get a price per visit, a monthly price and a price per square foot.
How the commercial cleaning bid calculator works
A commercial cleaning bid is built from time. If you know how many labor hours a building takes, the rest is wages, burden, supplies, overhead and margin. This commercial cleaning bid calculator turns the square footage into hours and hours into a price.
Production rates change with the type of space: open offices go faster than restrooms, medical rooms or heavy floor work. Enter the rate you measure on your own jobs rather than a guess.
Results are a starting point for a proposal. Walk the building, count restrooms and special tasks, and adjust the hours before you submit a price.
The formulas
Frequently asked questions
How do you bid a commercial cleaning job?
Estimate the labor hours for the space, multiply by your loaded wage, add supplies and overhead, then add your margin. Convert the result to a monthly price.
How do I price commercial cleaning per square foot?
Divide the monthly price by the cleanable square feet. The calculator shows this number so you can compare bids.
What is labor burden?
It is the extra cost on top of wages, such as payroll taxes, insurance and workers comp, shown as a percentage.
Is this for office cleaning?
Yes, and it works for other buildings if you set a production rate that matches the space.
