Stop Guessing Your House Cleaning Rates
Cleaning business owners notoriously underprice their services to win bids. If you charge $150 to clean a house, but it takes your two-person crew 4 hours and uses $20 in chemical supplies, you are actively losing money. The ToolBizz Cleaning Business Pricing Calculator prevents this by mathematically enforcing your profit margins.
Accounting for Unseen Costs
When entering your *Base Cost*, you must include commercial vehicle fuel, liability insurance pro-rated daily, and the replacement cost of vacuums and mops. If you are hiring staff, use the True Employee Cost Calculator to determine their fully-loaded hourly wage, including payroll taxes, before you set your margins.
Invoicing & Late Commercial Payments
If you land a coveted commercial office building, expect them to pay slowly. Use our Contractor Invoice Generator to build professional Net-30 documents. If the corporate office is late on payment, set up an automatic email sequence with our Payment Reminder Generator.
