Pricing instructions
The rules that are not prices. Write them down once and every quote you send follows them.

Built, not scraped
The hourly rate starts from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics median wage for maids and housekeeping cleaners ($17.07/hr), plus employer payroll and benefit costs (×1.30), plus typical overhead and profit.
What these numbers are not
Calibrated to your city, your equipment or your reputation — and nobody working in house cleaner work has reviewed them. Treat every figure here as a starting point to argue with, not a recommendation.
