Calculators for cleaning company owners
Two working calculators built on the numbers a cleaning route lives on: paid hours, drive time, loaded wages and the minutes a stop really takes.
Small cleaning companies rarely lose money on a price that was obviously wrong. They lose it on twenty minutes of paid drive time nobody counted, on a stop that quietly grew from forty minutes to an hour when the tenant added a break room, and on a loaded wage that went up with a scheduled minimum wage increase while the monthly price stayed where it was in 2023.
These two calculators attack those two failures. The first takes one recurring account and tells you what it earns per paid labor hour after drive time, wages and supplies come out. The second takes tonight's route and tells you whether it fits the shift or spills into overtime. Both use your numbers, and both are free to use without an account.

Does tonight's cleaning route fit the shift
Add up the real minutes of a night route, including drive time and the alarm and cart minutes nobody schedules, and see where the shift runs out.

Why the cleaning calculators are open with no sign up
Most owners already do this arithmetic on the back of a bid sheet at eleven at night. Monthly price divided by visits, visits times crew hours, a guess at the paid drive time between the strip center suite and the medical building, then a loaded wage that has not been touched since the last state minimum wage increase. It works right up until one number moves, and then the whole page gets redone. Nobody should have to hand over an email address to redo it.
So both calculators run with no account, and both are worth using even if you never open MopRoute. Gross profit per paid hour is the only figure that compares a nightly office account against a Friday apartment turn honestly, and the capacity planner tells you whether your six stop night was ever a six stop night once the alarm panel, the cart and the walk to the dumpster get counted. Take the results into your next price conversation with a property manager and use them there.
You have the numbers, now put them on a route
Gross profit per paid hour and minutes over the shift both point at the same fix, which is a week clustered by neighborhood and drawn around the hours each building actually lets a crew in. A demo takes your real accounts and builds the route those numbers imply. Bring the loaded wage you just typed in and we will work from it.
