Janitorial Cost-Per-Square-Foot Calculator

This calculator helps you estimate cleaning costs by spreading labor, supplies, and optional extras across your building’s square footage. Enter your area, choose cleaning type and frequency, add any specialty services, and get an accurate per-visit or per-period total. For residential projects, you can also estimate service pricing using this house cleaning price calculator to compare cleaning costs.

How to use it

• Pick how to tell us the area
  • “I know the total building Area” – enter one overall square-foot number.
  • “I only know one floor’s Area” – enter that floor’s area plus how many floors.
• Enter Area to Clean
  Type in the total square footage (or the area of one floor, depending on mode).
• Choose Type of Cleaning
  Select Basic, Deep, Move-Out, Medical, or Industrial to apply the right base rate.
• Select Frequency of Cleaning
  Pick Daily, 3×/Week, Bi-weekly, Weekly, Monthly, or One-time—the cost adjusts automatically.
• Enter Number of Floors
  If you only know one floor’s area, enter how many floors to multiply.
  If you know total area, this is only used to calculate the 10 % per-floor handling fee.
• (Optional) Show Advanced Extras
  Tick the checkbox to add carpet shampoo, window cleaning, or floor stripping & waxing. If your project includes floor treatment, this floor wax calculator helps estimate material coverage and requirements.
