True cost calculator

Wages are only part of what in-house cleaning costs you.

For most facilities, the wage line is barely half the real number. This tool adds up everything else, the burden, the turnover, the supplies, and the management hours, so you can see where you actually stand before you ever talk to us.

The real number

What does your in-house cleaning actually cost?

Most facilities budget the wages and quietly absorb everything else: payroll taxes, benefits, workers comp, turnover, supplies, equipment, and the hours your own managers spend running it. Enter your numbers below and see the fully loaded truth. Every assumption is editable, so make it match your reality.

Beyond the math

The value that does not fit in a calculator.

Some of what you get from HM resists a dollar figure, but a facility manager feels every one of these.

No-show coverage

A cleaner calls out at 9pm and we fill the shift. You never scramble, and you never hear about it.

No HR headache

Hiring, discipline, firing, unemployment claims, and the turnover treadmill are ours, not yours.

Off your comp rate

Cleaning is a high-risk workers comp class. Those claims and that exposure sit with us, not on your mod rate.

Compliance handled

OSHA, SDS, E-Verify, background checks, and drug screening are managed and documented for you.

Scales with you

Ramp up for a peak or down for a slow season without you rehiring or laying anyone off.

Your managers, back on the floor

The biggest hidden cost is your people running the mop closet instead of running the plant. We give that time back.

Next step

Let us walk your facility.

No cost, no obligation. We take the time your building needs, from a quick look to a full walkthrough of a large site, give you an honest read, and tell you what we would do differently. Whether you hire us this year or three years from now, you learn something either way.
