For commercial cleaning and janitorial companies

Know your break-even before you send the bid.

SweepMath turns square feet, fixture counts and your real labor costs into labor hours, a break-even price and a recommended monthly price. Then it prints a proposal you can send the same day.

No account. No upload. Bids are saved in your browser.

Labor is where bids lose money

A few missing labor hours per visit, repeated every night for the life of a contract, can erase the profit. SweepMath shows the hours first, so you can see the problem before you sign.

Area and fixture workloading

Price offices, lobbies and break rooms by square feet per hour, and restrooms by minutes per fixture, the way ISSA's published examples do it.

Break-even and quote check

Enter the price you plan to quote. SweepMath tells you if it is below break-even or under your target profit, and by how much.

"What if we're slower?"

A sensitivity table shows your profit if the crew runs 10% or 20% slower or faster than planned.

Rates you can see and change

Every starting production rate shows its source. Change any rate on any bid. Pro saves your own default rates.

Proposal in one click

Print or save a clean proposal with scope, frequency and monthly price. Add a cover line and your address. Pro adds your logo and removes our footer.

Won it? Check the real margin

Pro: log actual hours per visit. SweepMath compares them with the bid and flags accounts that need a rebid.

Private by design

There is no SweepMath server holding your numbers. The calculator runs in your browser and saves bids there. Your client list, wages and margins are not uploaded anywhere.

It also works offline after the first visit, so you can finish a walkthrough in a basement with no signal.

Free to use, $49/month for Pro

The calculator, break-even check, sensitivity table, proposals, revisions and win/loss notes are free, with up to 3 saved bids. Pro adds unlimited bids, branded proposals, your own rate library, actual-hours tracking, backups and CSV export.

Questions

Where do the production rates come from?

The presets come from public sources, each linked in the production rates guide: ISSA's worked examples, the industry average rate Janitorial Manager's help center cites, and published rate bands for other space types. They are starting points. Your own timed rates are better, and you can change any of them.

Is the recommended price what I should charge?

It is the price that covers your labor, supplies and overhead and leaves your target profit, based on what you entered. Your market, the client and the scope decide the final number. SweepMath shows the math so you can decide with it.

Do I need an account?

No. Open the calculator and start. Pro is unlocked with a license key you paste into Settings.

What happens to my bids if I clear my browser?

They are deleted, because they only live in your browser. Pro includes backup and restore so you can keep a copy or move bids to another device.
