How this calculator prices the contract

  1. Labor hourscleanable sq ft ÷ production rate × monthly visits
  2. Loaded costlabor × wage and burden, plus supplies and overhead
  3. Margin-safe bidtotal monthly cost ÷ (1 − target margin)

The default 3,300 sq ft/hour is an editable starting assumption—not a universal standard. Slow it down for dense rooms, high-touch detail, difficult access, or periodic work. Speed it up only when your own job history supports it.

Common questions

Apartments bidding FAQ

How do I price apartments cleaning?+

Estimate monthly labor hours from cleanable area, production rate, and service frequency. Add loaded labor, supplies, and overhead, then divide total cost by one minus your target margin. BroomBid keeps every assumption visible and editable.

Is the suggested production rate a guaranteed benchmark?+

No. It is a starting assumption for planning, not a promise. Measure your crew, inspect the facility, define the exact scope, and replace the rate with a number you can defend.

What is the difference between markup and margin?+

Markup is profit divided by cost. Margin is profit divided by selling price. If you want a 25% margin, divide cost by 0.75; adding 25% to cost only produces a 20% margin.
