Cleaning Quote & Profit Planner
Build a client-facing quote while checking labor, supplies, travel, overhead, margin and revenue per clock hour.

Price the job. Run the route. Keep the client.
A cleaning business does not need a giant CRM to know what is booked, what each job should cost, which clients recur and whether the route is actually profitable. Start with the smallest useful calculator, then move into SweepSlate when the records need to stay connected.
Local-first appCore records can stay on the device running SweepSlate.
No required subscriptionThe app is built around a one-time ownership model.
Quote → invoiceKeep client, property, job, quote, schedule and payment context together.

SweepSlate
Use SweepSlate when separate calculators stop being enough. It keeps clients, properties, recurring jobs, schedules, quotes, invoices, expenses, reports and backups in one focused cleaning-business workspace instead of rebuilding the same details in multiple files.

Answer one question before adding more software.
These browser tools are useful on their own. Use them to pressure-test a quote, a route or recurring revenue assumption with your own labor, travel, supplies and overhead numbers.
Cleaning Route Profit Planner
Combine multiple jobs with travel time and complete operating costs to see route revenue, profit and effective hourly return.
Plan a cleaning route →Recurring Cleaning Revenue Calculator
Normalize weekly and biweekly work into a realistic monthly revenue view instead of guessing from one busy week.
Forecast recurring revenue →Cleaning Supplies Cost per Job
Turn chemicals, disposables, laundry, PPE and equipment wear into a repeatable supply-cost figure for each completed job.
Calculate supply cost →Simple operating sequence
Keep four decisions connected.
The useful stack is not “more apps.” It is a sequence where each number feeds the next business decision.
Cost the job
Include productive labor, supplies, travel, overhead and the profit target before sending a quote.
Fit it into the route
A profitable job can still create a weak day if travel and gaps consume too much clock time.
Normalize recurrence
Weekly and biweekly clients create different monthly service counts. Plan from annual frequency, not a four-week shortcut.
Compare estimate with reality
Use actual time and cost history to improve the next quote instead of carrying old assumptions forever.
Cleaning business guides
Understand the method behind the calculator.
Use the guides when the question is not just “what number did the calculator return?” but why that number changes with time, route density, overhead and pricing method.
How to Price House Cleaning
Work from labor and operating cost toward a price instead of copying a competitor's flat rate.
Read pricing guide →Cleaning Business Profit Margin
Separate revenue, direct job cost and overhead so margin reflects the business rather than only cash collected.

What should a small cleaning business actually track?
Enough information to price, deliver and improve the work — without creating admin that takes longer than the cleaning.
Do I need cleaning business software on day one?
No. A quote calculator and a simple client list may be enough at the start. A dedicated app becomes more useful when recurring jobs, invoices, expenses and multiple properties begin to overlap.
What matters more: price per job or price per hour?
The client may see a flat job price, but the business still needs to understand the labor and clock time underneath it. Effective hourly return is a useful check on whether the flat price works.
Why track travel separately?
Travel consumes paid or owner time without creating another completed job. Route density can therefore change the economics even when each individual job looks profitable.
What should I back up?
Client, job, quote, invoice and expense records that would be painful to reconstruct. If you use local-first software, keep exported backup copies outside the device or browser profile that runs the app.
Need one number or the whole workflow?
