Example: pricing 2,000 sq ft, 3× per week
At a production rate of 1,500 sq ft per hour with 1 restroom, one visit takes about 1.6 labor hours. With a $17/hr wage, 20% payroll burden, 5% supplies, 15% overhead and a 20% margin, that is about $49 per visit or $633 per month. These are starting assumptions. Change any number above to match your market.
