Commercial Cleaning Cost Calculator
Budget for office and commercial janitorial service. The calculator estimates the labor hours a cleaning crew needs for your space and turns them into per-visit, weekly and monthly price ranges you can compare with bids.
How it works
- Choose the facility type and enter the area that is cleaned, plus the number of restrooms and break rooms.
- Choose the main floor type, how often the space is cleaned and the level of service.
- Enter a billing-rate range per labor hour — $25–$50 is common for routine janitorial work in the U.S.
- Read the per-visit, weekly and monthly ranges and the cost per square foot.
Formula
Hours per visit = area ÷ production rate × floor factor × service factor + rooms × minutes ÷ 60 Per visit = hours × billing rate (low – high) Monthly = per visit × visits per week × 52 ÷ 12
Production rates (sq ft one cleaner covers per hour, routine service): office 3,000, retail 3,500, school 2,500, gym 2,000, church or event space 4,000. Restrooms add 20 minutes and break rooms 15 minutes each per visit. Floors: carpet × 1.0, mixed × 1.1, hard floors × 1.2. Service level: light × 0.75, standard × 1.0, detailed × 1.4.
Example
A 15,000 sq ft retail showroom with hard floors and four restrooms wants detailed cleaning three nights a week. Local bids suggest $35–$55 per labor hour.

How cleaning contractors price a building
Most janitorial bids start from labor: how many hours a crew needs per visit to cover the floor area and the fixtures, multiplied by an hourly billing rate that includes wages, payroll taxes, insurance, supplies and profit. Restrooms and kitchens are priced by count because they take time regardless of the building’s size.
Frequency has the biggest effect on the monthly bill. Cleaning five nights a week costs about five times as much as once a week, although per-visit time can drop slightly when the space never gets very dirty.
Frequently asked questions
How much does commercial cleaning cost per square foot?
It depends mostly on frequency and the billing rate. At 3,000 sq ft per labor hour and $30–$50 an hour, general office cleaning works out to about $0.010–$0.017 per sq ft per visit — roughly $0.22–$0.36 per sq ft per month at five visits a week — before restrooms and kitchens are added. The calculator shows the figure for your inputs.
What hourly rate do cleaning companies charge?
Commonly $25–$50 per labor hour for routine commercial janitorial work, higher for medical, specialized or after-hours work and in high-cost cities.
Are supplies included?
The billing rate normally covers cleaning chemicals and equipment. Consumables such as paper towels, toilet paper, soap and liners are often billed separately or supplied by the client.
Is this an actual quote?
No. It is a planning estimate from typical production rates and the billing rates you enter. Contractors quote after walking through your space.
