Somewhere between "let me get back to you" and a scribbled estimate, there's a rate your market actually pays — and most cleaning owners are quoting under it without knowing. Punch in your city. See what's normal. Find out if you've been leaving money on every job.
Undercharge by $15 on a house you clean twice a month, and that's $360 gone by year's end — on one client. Now multiply by your whole book. That's not a rounding error. That's a vacation, a new hire, a truck payment.
The owners who win aren't the cheapest. They're the ones who know their number and quote it without flinching. This tool gives you the number. The flinching is on you.
It swings by city, home size, and service type. A one-time deep clean in Austin isn't priced like a recurring maintenance clean in Cleveland. The tool above breaks it down by your market across 65+ cities and all 50 states.
If you haven't checked your local benchmark in the last year, probably not. Costs creep up, rates drift, and most owners only raise prices when it's already overdue. Run your city above and compare.
Lead with the number, not an apology. When you know your market rate and can show it's fair, the conversation stops being awkward. Most clients who value good work don't leave over a reasonable increase — they leave over unreliable service.
