House Cleaning Package Builder

Create Basic, Standard, and Premium cleaning packages with editable labor, supplies, add-ons, service scope, and margin assumptions.

Planning tool: Every template and price is an editable example, not a verified local market price.

Not sure what these numbers mean?

Start with your estimated labor, supplies, and other direct costs. Choose the profit margin you want to target, and the builder will show the corresponding package price.

Learn what to enter in the cost fields

Package name: The customer-facing name, such as Essential Clean.

Included service scope: List the work included so customers can compare levels.

Labor hours: Total working hours, not necessarily appointment time. One cleaner for 3 hours = 3; two cleaners for 2 hours each = 4.

Hourly labor rate: The dollar value you choose for each labor hour, not necessarily an employee wage. At 3 hours × $50, labor cost is $150.

Supplies cost: Chemicals, trash bags, and disposables used for one job. Enter 15, not 15%.

Other / add-on costs: Direct costs such as parking, travel, equipment rental, disposal, or special materials—not a customer add-on price.

Target margin: The share of selling price left after entered costs. Enter 25 for 25%, not 0.25.

How your package price is calculated

Example: 3 labor hours at $50, $15 of cleaning chemicals and disposable supplies, $10 of travel or equipment cost, and a 25% target margin.

  1. Calculate labor cost3 × $50 = $150
  2. Add direct costs$150 + $15 + $10 = $175 total package cost
  3. Apply the target margin25% = 0.25. $175 ÷ (1 − 0.25) = $233.33.
  4. Calculate estimated profit$233.33 − $175 = $58.33
  5. Verify the margin$58.33 ÷ $233.33 × 100 ≈ 25%
Why isn't 25% simply added to my cost?

Adding 25% is a 25% markup. On $150 cost it gives a $187.50 price and $37.50 profit, which is only a 20% margin. Targeting 25% margin uses $150 ÷ 0.75 = $200, leaving $50 profit, or 25% of the selling price.

Markup

Profit compared with cost.

Markup % = Profit ÷ Cost × 100

Profit margin

Profit compared with selling price.

Margin % = Profit ÷ Selling Price × 100

Example: $150 cost, $200 selling price, and $50 profit equals 33.3% markup but 25% profit margin. ServicePricingTool uses target profit margin, not markup.

House Cleaning Package Builder FAQ

What should a house cleaning package include?

Define the rooms, surfaces, routine tasks, exclusions, condition assumptions, and add-ons included at each service level.

How should recurring and one-time packages differ?

Recurring work may assume a maintained home and predictable frequency. One-time and deep cleaning packages should account for the initial condition and extra detail work.

Should appliances, windows, and baseboards be add-ons?

They may be included in higher tiers or priced separately. Choose the approach that best reflects your labor and keeps the customer scope clear.

Do home size and condition change these examples automatically?

No. They document the planning context. Adjust labor, supplies, add-ons, and scope using your own job records.

Are the template prices local market averages?

No. Every value is an editable planning example and is not verified local market pricing.
