Per-surface productivity rates and per-fixture restroom times are from ISSA's 612 Cleaning Times standard.1 The property-type multiplier compensates for the scope differences across facility types (medical disinfection standards, restaurant degreasing, industrial open-floor speed) that universal per-surface rates would miss. Add 15.3% self-employment tax2 on your net if you are unincorporated.

Built on the same model as our commercial cleaning bidding guide, which covers production rates, the three pricing models, what goes on the bid letter, and how to handle net-30 to net-60 payment terms.

Commercial cleaning bid questions, answered

How does this calculator price a commercial cleaning bid?

It splits your square footage into carpet and hard floor and applies ISSA 612 production rates to each, adds restroom time per fixture, then adjusts for the property type and your detail level. That gives hours per visit. It multiplies by your hourly rate and visits per month, adds recurring add-ons, loads 25 percent overhead and a 35 percent profit margin, then applies your market. Open the math panel under the result to see each step on your numbers.

Should I quote a commercial cleaning contract monthly or per visit?

Put the monthly contract on the bid. That is the number facility managers budget against and the one your contract term runs on. The per-visit price is still useful when a prospect wants to compare frequencies, so the calculator shows both.

Is the calculator free? Do I need an account?

Yes, it is free, and no account is required. You can create a branded estimate PDF straight from the result and send it to the prospect. A free EosLog account is only for when you want to keep bids, schedule the work, and invoice the contract each month.

What should a commercial cleaning bid include besides the price?

A scope of work listing every task per visit, the cleaning schedule, what is not included, payment terms, contract length, and proof of insurance. Missing pieces like these are a common reason a bid gets set aside before anyone weighs the price. The estimate PDF from this calculator carries the price and property summary; the bidding guide walks through the full bid letter.
