How Commercial Cleaning Pricing Works

Commercial cleaning is priced differently from residential work. Contracts are typically monthly, based on square footage and cleaning scope rather than bedroom count.

The three main pricing models are: per-square-foot, flat monthly rate, and hourly. Most established cleaning companies use per-square-foot pricing internally, then present a flat monthly number to the client.

Commercial Cleaning Price Formula

Monthly Price = (Square Footage × Rate Per Sq Ft Per Visit) × Visits Per Month + Add-Ons

For larger markets or full-scope office cleaning, a 10,000 sq ft general office cleaned 3× weekly may run $6,000–$12,000/month. Lower-scope contracts or smaller markets may price below this range. Your rate per square foot depends on facility type, scope of work, and local market rates. Medical and gym facilities typically command higher rates due to sanitation requirements.

  • General office: $0.05–$0.10 per sq ft per visit
  • Medical/dental: $0.12–$0.20 per sq ft per visit
  • Retail: $0.05–$0.09 per sq ft per visit
  • Warehouse: $0.03–$0.07 per sq ft per visit

Commercial Cleaning Calculator vs Janitorial Bid Calculator

Use the commercial cleaning price calculator when you want a fast market-based estimate by square footage and frequency. Use the janitorial bid calculator when you want a cost-based bid that includes labor, supplies, overhead, drive time, and target profit margin.

The commercial cleaning calculator is best for quick quotes and benchmarking your rates against industry averages. The janitorial bid calculator is best for building detailed proposals where you need to show your cost breakdown and justify your price to the client.

School/Daycare$0.08–$0.12$9,600–$14,400
Gym/Fitness$0.10–$0.15$12,000–$18,000

Monthly = rate × sq ft × 12 visits/mo. Rates vary by market, scope of work, and whether supplies are included.

Commercial Cleaning Pricing FAQs

How much does commercial cleaning cost per square foot?
Commercial cleaning typically costs $0.05 to $0.20 per square foot per visit. General offices are at the low end, while medical facilities and gyms command higher rates due to stricter sanitation requirements.
How do I price a commercial cleaning contract?
Start with square footage × your rate per square foot × visits per month. Add line items for specialty services like floor waxing or deep restroom sanitization. Always include a profit margin of at least 15–25% above your labor and supply costs.
Should I charge hourly or per square foot for commercial cleaning?
Per-square-foot pricing is standard for commercial contracts. It gives the client a predictable monthly number and protects your margin as your crew gets faster. Use hourly math internally to validate that your per-square-foot rate covers your actual labor cost.
What profit margin should a cleaning company target?
Most healthy cleaning businesses target a net profit margin of 10–28% after labor, supplies, overhead, and vehicle costs. If your margin is below 10%, your pricing is likely too low for the scope of work.
How much does it cost to clean a 10,000 sq ft office?
A 10,000 sq ft general office cleaned 3 times per week typically costs $6,000 to $12,000 per month depending on scope, market, and whether supplies are included. At the default $0.08/sq ft rate, the calculator produces ~$9,600/month before add-ons.
