What you’ll get from this calculator

  • Move-out cleaning typically costs $150–$250 for a studio/1-bedroom, $200–$350 for a 2-bedroom, $300–$500 for a 3-bedroom, and $450–$700 for a 4-bedroom.
  • A move-out (or deep) clean usually costs about 1.25–1.5× a standard recurring clean because it includes inside appliances, baseboards, cabinet interiors, and walls.
  • Price = (home base + bathrooms) × condition multiplier + add-ons like inside-fridge, oven, interior windows, and carpet shampoo.
  • Charge for the condition you find: empty homes clean faster, but heavy build-up, grease, or pet hair justifies a 1.5× rate.

How to Price a Move-Out Clean

A move-out clean is a deep clean with a deadline. The tenant or owner needs the home empty and spotless for a walkthrough or to get a deposit back, which means everything gets touched: inside appliances, inside cabinets, baseboards, walls, window tracks, and floors.

Start from your standard clean price for the home size, then apply a move-out multiplier (1.25× is typical, 1.5× for heavy build-up). Add à la carte for inside-fridge, inside-oven, interior windows, and carpet shampoo, because those tasks take real time and supplies.

The Move-Out Cleaning Formula

Move-Out Price = (Home Base + Bathrooms) × Condition Multiplier + Add-ons

Example: a 3-bedroom, 2-bath standard move-out is ($375 + $40) × 1.25 = $519. Add inside-fridge ($35), inside-oven ($35), and interior windows ($60) and the quote is $649. The calculator also shows the standard-clean price so you can explain the move-out premium to the customer.

Move-Out Cleaning FAQs

How much does move-out cleaning cost in 2026?▼
Move-out cleaning typically costs $150–$250 for a studio or 1-bedroom, $200–$350 for a 2-bedroom, $300–$500 for a 3-bedroom, and $450–$700 for a 4-bedroom home. Price depends on square footage, number of bathrooms, the home's condition, and add-ons like inside-fridge or carpet shampoo.
Why does move-out cleaning cost more than a regular clean?▼
A move-out clean is a deep clean of an empty home, so it includes tasks a recurring clean skips: inside the fridge and oven, inside cabinets and drawers, baseboards, walls, window tracks, and detailed bathroom and kitchen work. That extra labor and supplies make it roughly 1.25–1.5× a standard clean.
Is move-out cleaning the same as a deep clean?▼
They overlap heavily. A deep clean is a thorough, top-to-bottom clean that can happen anytime; a move-out clean is a deep clean of an empty home timed to a move date or inspection. You can use this calculator for both — pick the home size and condition, then add the extras the job needs.
Should I charge by the hour or a flat rate for move-out cleaning?▼
Most cleaners quote move-outs as a flat rate so the customer knows the price up front, then check that the flat rate divided by estimated hours clears their target hourly rate. This calculator shows both the flat price and the effective hourly rate so you can confirm the job is profitable before you commit.
What add-ons should I list for a move-out clean?▼
The most common paid add-ons are inside the fridge, inside the oven, interior windows, baseboards and wall spot-cleaning, inside cabinets and drawers, garage sweep-out, and carpet shampoo. Listing them separately protects your margin and lets the customer choose their scope.
Can the AI fill out this calculator from a description?▼
Yes — type something like '3 bedroom 2 bath move out, heavy condition, inside fridge and oven, carpet shampoo' in the AI bar and the calculator selects the home size, condition, and add-ons and shows the move-out price.
