How to measure a window cleaning job
- Count panes the way you charge for them. If a slider with two panels is one window to you, count it as one.
- High windows are extra time on top of the normal window, for moving and footing the ladder.
- French panes and heavy hard-water stains are much slower. Raise the minutes for those jobs.
What this free version leaves out
Inside work is often slower than outside work because of furniture, blinds and sills. Time a few of your own jobs and change the minutes in the example speeds. It also prices every customer the same way, whatever the season, the access or how the first call went. The full CrewBrain pricing engine takes those into account.
For the full method, read how to price window cleaning jobs, or see CrewBrain for window cleaning. To work out what one person-hour really costs you, use the labor burden calculator.
Questions owners ask
How much should I charge per window?
Divide your price for a normal job by the number of windows. The calculator shows the full job price, so you can see the per-window number for your own costs instead of a national average.
Should inside windows cost the same as outside?
Only if they take the same time. Time both on a few jobs and set the minutes separately.
Is this a quote?
No. It is a simple floor price for the numbers you enter. A real quote also reflects access, condition and what the customer values.
