Pricing a house cleaning job comes down to a handful of factors: how many bedrooms and bathrooms the home has, what's included in the service, how dirty the home is, and how often you'll be cleaning it. The calculator above estimates a fair price range using common industry rate benchmarks — here's the reasoning behind the numbers.
Typical price ranges by home size
| Home Size | Standard Clean | Deep Clean | Move In/Out |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–2 bed / 1 bath | $90–$130 | $140–$200 | $170–$240 |
| 3 bed / 2 bath | $120–$180 | $190–$280 | $230–$340 |
| 4 bed / 2–3 bath | $160–$230 | $250–$350 | $300–$430 |
| 5+ bed / 3+ bath | $200–$300 | $320–$450 | $380–$550 |
These are general benchmarks, not a market survey — your area may run higher or lower.
Per-square-foot rates
Many cleaners also think in terms of price per square foot once labor, supplies, and overhead are factored in — commonly $0.10 to $0.17 per square foot for a standard clean, $0.11 to $0.30 per square foot for a deep clean, and $0.22 to $0.33 per square foot for a move-out clean.
Why recurring clients pay less per visit
A weekly or biweekly client is a known quantity — predictable mess level, a familiar home, and a route stop instead of a one-off trip. That efficiency is usually passed on as a lower per-visit rate compared to one-time or sporadic cleans, which often carry a premium for the uncertainty of home condition and scheduling.
How to use this calculator
Select the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, choose what's included in the service and how often you'll clean it, and select the region tier that best matches local cost of living. The result is a price range per visit, plus a monthly and annual total for recurring service — a starting point for pricing a quote or sanity-checking what you're currently paying or charging.
