Cleaning Time Calculator

This works out how long a clean takes, either from a production rate in square feet an hour or from a list of rooms with your own minutes against each. Enter the job, the crew size and a setup allowance, and it returns the labour hours to bill and the elapsed time on site, which stop being the same number once more than one person is working. A third action turns it round and gives the crew size needed to finish inside a fixed window. No rates are built in, because the figures that matter are the ones your own jobs have produced and an industry average would be wrong for most buildings.

Calculator Type
Units
The production rate is read in the same unit, per hour.

For a production rate in area an hour, which is how a commercial clean is usually quoted.

Your own measured rate: take a job you have done, divide its area by the hours it took. Nothing is assumed for you.
Leave at 1 for the routine clean your rate was measured on. Above 1 for a deep or move-out clean, below 1 for a touch-up.
Counted once for the visit, not once per cleaner.

Inside the oven, inside the fridge, windows, laundry, anything charged as an extra.
