How this calculator works
1. Time the job
Labor hours = square feet ÷ production rate (standard 900, deep 500, move-out 450 sq ft per labor hour) + 20–50 min per bathroom + 10–25 min per bedroom, then adjusted for condition and pets.
2. Add up real costs
Labor at your loaded rate (pay + payroll costs), supplies, paid drive time for the whole team plus mileage, and a fair share of your monthly overhead.
3. Price for profit
Price = cost ÷ (1 − target margin), at least your minimum, rounded up to the nearest $5. Recurring discounts come off after, and the badge shows if you still clear your margin.
The production rates are starting points. Time a few of your own jobs and adjust. Results are estimates, not a quote, and not financial or tax advice. Compare against your local market before you set prices.
