Build commercial cleaning bids around real labor, workload, overhead and target margins — then compare your estimates against actual contract performance.
Use free calculators built around real commercial cleaning costs, labor, margins, and account profitability.
Calculate loaded labor cost per paid hour using your hourly wage and your own payroll burden assumptions.
Calculate a recommended monthly bid using labor, payroll burden, travel time, supplies, overhead, and your target profit margin.
Compare estimated and actual labor hours and monthly costs to see how contract performance changed your profit margin.
The price you send is fixed. The hours, costs and workload that show up after the contract starts are not.
A job estimated at 3 hours can quietly become 3.5 or 4. The invoice stays the same while labor keeps eating the margin.
Payroll burden, travel time, supplies, equipment, overhead and account complexity all have to be carried by the contract.
Winning at the target margin means little if actual labor and costs are never compared against what was originally sold.
ContractGauge connects the assumptions behind your bid with what actually happens after the contract starts.
Define labor costs, payroll burden, overhead, supplies and the margins your business needs.
Turn the facility, frequency and your own production assumptions into estimated labor requirements.
Bring workload and costs together so you can see the price, profit and margin before the proposal goes out.
Compare actual contract performance against the original estimate before small labor overruns become annual losses.
Build the assumptions, price the opportunity, manage the contract and compare the result against what you originally sold.
Set up your business assumptions and translate the facility walkthrough into a workload.
Calculate the bid, see the margin and turn the numbers into a proposal-ready price.
Follow won contracts, enter actual performance and see whether the expected profit survived.
The bid is only the starting point. Once the contract begins, actual labor can move while the client invoice stays fixed. ContractGauge helps you see that gap early.
See whether the contract is taking more time than you originally priced.
Translate labor overruns into real profit impact, not just extra hours on a timesheet.
Improve production, adjust the scope or reprice before months of margin leakage pile up.
Illustrative example. Use your own business costs and assumptions.
One system to build the bid, see the margin, track the contract and compare the estimate against reality.
Built specifically around the commercial cleaning bid-to-profit workflow.
Built for commercial cleaning owners who want to understand the numbers behind the contract.
ContractGauge does not provide universal production rates. Your numbers, your assumptions, your margins.
A few important things to know before using ContractGauge.
It goes further than a simple calculator. ContractGauge connects business costs, workload, bid pricing, proposals, contracts, actual performance and profitability in one workflow.
No. Production rates vary by company, facility, service level, equipment and operating conditions. ContractGauge is designed for you to enter and use your own production-rate assumptions.
No. ContractGauge is built for Google Sheets, so you can use it through your Google account without purchasing Microsoft Excel.
No. The current ContractGauge system is sold as a one-time purchase.
It is designed for commercial cleaning and janitorial business owners who need a structured way to price opportunities and understand the profitability behind their contracts.
Yes. ContractGauge includes Actuals and Profitability workflows so you can compare what you expected against what actually happened after the contract began.
Give every commercial cleaning opportunity a clear path from workload and costs to pricing and profitability.
