Same calculator, 1 to 7 rooms
| Rooms (+1 hallway) | Price | Per room | Real $/hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $125 | $125.00 | $77.41 |
| 2 | $125 | $62.50 | $55.91 |
| 3 | $145 | $48.33 | $51.26 |
| 4 | $180 | $45.00 | $53.69 |
| 5 | $210 | $42.00 | $53.84 |
| 6 | $245 | $40.83 | $55.38 |
| 7 | $275 | $39.29 | $55.32 |
Example only, using the calculator’s starter numbers: $60 per hour target, 25 minutes per room and 10 per hallway, 30 setup minutes, $10 per cleaning hour for equipment, $3 of chemicals per area, 10 round-trip miles at $0.35 per mile, 20 minutes of driving, $125 minimum, rounded up to $5. These are not market rates. One and two rooms hit the $125 minimum, so the per-room price drops as the job grows, the same pattern as HomeGuide’s table.

How much should I charge per room?
HomeGuide lists $40–$90+ per room for hot water extraction. Its per-room price falls as the job gets bigger: $100–$150 for one room down to $40–$50 per room for five rooms (basic cleaning only).
How big is a room for carpet cleaning?
HomeGuide says most pros count one room as 200–250 sq ft. Say your own room size on your price sheet so big rooms aren’t a surprise.
Do hallways and stairs count as rooms?
Usually not. HomeGuide lists hallways and walk-in closets at $20–$35+ each, and stairs at $2–$5 per step or $45–$65 for a staircase with one landing.
