FAQ
How do I find my price per square foot?
Enter the area, how many square feet your crew actually cleans per hour on that surface, and your costs. The calculator adds labor, chemicals, equipment and vehicle cost, applies your margin and minimum, then divides the price by the square footage.
What production rate should I use?
Your own. Time your crew on a few jobs of the same surface (driveway, siding, deck) and divide square feet by hours on the wand. Rates differ a lot by surface, equipment and how dirty it is, so keep a separate number for each surface type.
Are the default numbers typical pressure washing rates?
No. They are placeholder assumptions so the calculator shows a result on first load. Replace them with your own wage, costs, production rate, margin and minimum.
Why does the job minimum matter?
Small jobs still carry travel, setup and teardown. If the margin-based price comes out below your minimum, the calculator uses the minimum and tells you.
