How It Works

The true cost of a cleaning employee is 25-35% above their hourly wage. A $16/hr cleaner actually costs $20-$22/hr after payroll taxes (7.65% FICA), workers compensation (3-8% for cleaning), health benefits, PTO, training, and uniforms. This burden rate is essential for accurate job costing and pricing.
