How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Office area (sq ft) = 10000, Cleaning visits per month = 20, Production rate (sq ft/hr) = 3500, Cleaner hourly wage ($) = 16 = 6 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Monthly bid price
    Monthly bid price = monthlyCost / (1 - profitMarginPct / 100)
    3255.13 = $3,255.13
  3. Calculate Annual contract value
    Annual contract value = monthlyBidPrice * 12
    39061.51 = $39,061.51
  4. Calculate Price per visit
    Price per visit = monthlyBidPrice / visitsPerMonth
    162.76 = $162.76
  5. Calculate Price per sq ft per visit
    0.0163 = $0.016
