For solo and small residential cleaning businesses
Know what each cleaning job really earns you.
Price jobs from your own costs, record what actually happened, and see what remains after labour, travel, supplies and other expenses.
A practical Microsoft Excel workbook. You enter your numbers; it does the arithmetic and shows its working.
A made-up job from the workbook's sample data. The last line is the sentence the workbook writes for it.
Turn the work you already do into numbers you can use.
You should not need to become a finance expert to understand whether a job worked for your business.
Price from your costs
Bring together time, travel, supplies, payment fees and a share of monthly overhead before deciding what to quote.
Compare estimate with reality
Record the hours, mileage, supplies and callbacks that actually happened and see why the result changed.
See the wider picture
Track unpaid jobs and review what was left for the month before paying yourself.
Free job check: was this cleaning job worth it?
This is the arithmetic of the free workbook, Was This Cleaning Job Worth It? The figures shown are an example. Replace them with a job you finished recently. Nothing you type leaves this page.
Free, no sign-up. Change any yellow cell to see the result update.
This quick check leaves out monthly overhead such as insurance, phone and software. The full workbook shares that overhead across your jobs. For the example job, that takes the hourly figure from $28.90 to $25.32.
It does not suggest a price or an hourly rate. The price shown is only the one that reaches the hourly figure you chose, assuming fees take the same share of a higher price.
Want this for every job, with overhead, payments and a monthly view? That is what the full workbook does.
From estimate to monthly picture in three steps.
The screenshots use an invented sample business. Yellow cells are for your entries; grey cells are calculated for you.
Each sheet is shown at full size. Swipe sideways inside a picture to see the whole sheet.
