The formula, with your numbers
Each price is rounded up to the next whole dollar.
What it assumes
- Every billable hour you set gets booked. The top of the range allows for 1 in 5 going unbooked.
- Your monthly costs and pay are shared evenly across those hours.
- Taxes aren't included, so set your pay before tax.
- It comes from your own numbers. It isn't a market price, so compare it with what clients in your area pay.

Questions, answered.
Should I charge by the hour or by the job?
Either works. The calculator prices the job from the time it takes. For your hourly price, enter 60 minutes and no supplies.
Where does travel time go?
Leave it out of your billable hours, so it's shared across the hours you're paid for. Put fuel and your car in monthly costs.
Is this what cleaners near me charge?
No. It's the price your own numbers need, not a market price. Compare it with what clients in your area pay, then decide.
