Commercial cleaning bid calculator
Bidding an office, clinic, or gym? Get an instant per-visit and monthly bid range from square footage, space type, and frequency, so your number lands on market before you even walk the space. Free, no signup.
Per visit
$166 - $368
Per month
$2,151 - $4,780
Based on $0.08 - $0.18 per sq ft per visit.
Anchors, not a bid. Always walk the space, count restrooms and floor types, and build the real number from labor hours times your loaded rate plus margin.
How to use it
Enter the space
Set the square footage and pick the type of space: office, medical, gym, retail, or restaurant.
Set the frequency
Choose visits per week. More frequent service prices lower per visit because the space stays maintained.
Anchor your bid
Use the per-visit and monthly ranges as your market anchor, then walk the space and build the real bid from labor hours.
From anchor to signed contract
The range above keeps your bid inside market reality. The contract is won on the ground: walk the space, count restrooms and floor types, ask what the last cleaning company got wrong, and send a written proposal the same day. Our free estimate generator turns your number into that proposal, and the 2026 commercial rates report gives you the full market data behind these anchors.
Winning is half the job
Keeping the contract is the other half: schedules that hold, invoices on time, and net-30 payments that actually arrive. Eva runs that layer for you, nights included.
Commercial cleaning bid questions
How do I calculate a commercial cleaning bid?
Start from square footage times a market rate per visit ($0.08 to $0.25 per sq ft depending on the space), adjust for visit frequency, then verify with a walkthrough: count restrooms and floor types, estimate labor hours, and build the final number from your loaded hourly rate plus margin.
How much should I charge per square foot for commercial cleaning?
In 2026, offices typically anchor at $0.09 to $0.20 per square foot per visit, medical and restaurants at $0.12 to $0.25, gyms at $0.10 to $0.22, retail at $0.08 to $0.18. Frequency, scope, and your local market move the real number. Full ranges live in our 2026 commercial rates report.
Should I quote a commercial job without a walkthrough?
No. The calculator gives you the anchor so you never bid wildly off market, but the walkthrough is where the money is decided: restrooms, floor types, traffic, and what the last cleaner got wrong. Bid the same day you walk it.
Is this bid calculator free?
Yes, completely free with no signup. Pair it with our free estimate generator to turn the number into a professional proposal document you can send the same day.
