Stop guessing on cleaning bids. Our free janitorial calculator prices any job based on square footage, building type, frequency, and your costs — using real ISSA production rate data.
The difference between a profitable cleaning company and one that bleeds money usually comes down to one thing: accurate bidding. A janitorial bid calculator takes the guesswork out of pricing by using standardized production rates, labor cost models, and overhead calculations.
Instead of looking at a building and thinking "that looks like a $2,000/month job," a calculator gives you the exact math: square footage ÷ production rate = labor hours × cost rate + overhead + profit = your price.
The result? Bids that protect your margins while remaining competitive enough to win contracts.
The xiriOS bid calculator is built on ISSA 612 Cleaning Times production rates — the same data used by the largest facility management companies. Here's what's included:
→ 15 building types — from offices and medical clinics to warehouses, schools, restaurants, and residential homes. Each has a calibrated production rate.
→ Room-by-room scope — break down a building into rooms (lobby, restrooms, offices, hallways) with individual square footage and task selection.
→ Task-level control — toggle individual cleaning tasks (vacuuming, mopping, restroom sanitation, high dusting, window tracks) per room.
→ Financial inputs — set your wage rate, payroll tax %, overhead %, profit %, and supply costs. The calculator handles all the math.
→ Price range output — get a ±20% price band so you can adjust for market conditions, building condition, or client relationship.
→ No sign-up required — the calculator works immediately, no account needed.

→ Building complexity — medical and restaurant facilities get a 1.3–1.4× multiplier to account for specialized cleaning.
→ Floor type mix — each building type has a default carpet vs. hard floor percentage that affects time estimates.
→ Restroom fixtures — the calculator estimates toilet, urinal, and sink counts per 10,000 sqft by building type. Each fixture adds specific cleaning time.
→ State-based wage data — input your state and we'll pre-fill the median janitor wage and typical payroll tax rate from BLS data.
The result is typically within 5–10% of what an experienced estimator would bid after a full walkthrough.
