What price covers your plan?
Enter your own target pay and costs. The estimate adds labour, job expenses and overhead, then calculates the price needed for your chosen operating margin. It is a planning aid, not a market-rate recommendation or a promise of profit.

How is this worked out?
Estimated cost = target hourly pay × cleaning and administration hours + job expenses + monthly overhead allocated by billable cleaning hours. Suggested price = estimated cost ÷ (1 − target margin). Margin here means a share of the final price, rather than a markup on costs.
Use either paid staff costs or your own target pay consistently. Do not include the same expense in job costs and monthly overhead. The result is before sales tax, personal income tax and any costs you have not entered. Read the HST planning article.
