What one worker’s time costs your business, including wages and any payroll costs. Include a fair hourly cost for your own work too. This is not the hourly rate you charge the customer.

Job costs

Costs directly attributable to this job.

Chemicals / materials

Fuel

Equipment allocation

A per-job allowance for equipment wear, maintenance and eventual replacement.

Travel cost

Vehicle and fuel cost for this job. If you want to pay yourself for driving time, include that time in estimated labor hours. Don’t count fuel here again if it is already included above.

Other direct costs

Business economics

Give overhead and profit a place in every quote.

Allocated overhead

A share of business costs such as insurance, software, advertising, phone and storage that are not direct job expenses.

Payment processing fee

The percentage your payment provider takes from the customer’s payment. Use your actual fee; it is a percentage of the selling price, not your job costs.

Target profit margin

The share of the selling price you want to keep after the entered job costs and payment fees. A 30% margin means keeping $30 of each $100 charged. It is not the same as adding 30% to costs.

Minimum job charge

Your smallest worthwhile service call, even for a tiny job. This is a true price floor. Urgency is added first, then any discount is limited so your final quote never falls below this minimum.

Additional overhead %

An optional extra allowance calculated as a percentage of direct job costs. It is added to allocated overhead. Use it only for expenses you have not already counted.

Optional adjustments

Urgency / same-day surcharge

Discount

Applied last; may reduce your target margin.

How this price is calculated

Required revenue = cost ÷ (1 − processing fee − target margin).

$205.00 ÷ (1 − 0.03 − 0.3) = $305.97

The larger of this amount and your $200.00 minimum is the base price. Apply the 0% urgency surcharge, then the 0% discount. Keep the final price at or above your minimum job charge, then round up to the next cent.

Profit = final price − processing fees − job costs. Margin = profit ÷ revenue. Markup here = profit after processing ÷ cost before processing.

Labor-hour metrics use 3 worker-hours (1 workers × 3 hours). Condition and access are planning notes: adjust hours and costs yourself.

Break-even price$211.34

Markup after fees44.8%

Profit / labor hour$30.60

Measure the whole cleaning area.

Include aprons, walkways, and any edges that form part of the scope. Heavy buildup and oil spots can add treatment and dwell time. Record these conditions and increase your own labor and chemical allowance as needed.

Separate cleaning from stain removal.

Define whether the job is a routine wash or includes spot treatment. Do not promise that every oil or rust stain will disappear. Surface damage and delicate finishes can also change the suitable work method and time.
