Estimate your monthly cost
How this estimate is built
The base janitorial cost runs $0.10 to $0.20 per square foot per month at 5 nights per week, scaled down for lower frequencies (3 nights = 60 percent of 5-night cost, 2 nights = 40 percent, weekly = 20 percent). Industry multipliers add the typical compliance and training overhead. Day porter cost is added on top of the recurring janitorial number based on the chosen daily-hour configuration.
What this estimate does NOT include
- Supplies: typically adds 5 to 15 percent (soap, paper, sanitary, hand sanitizer, trash liners). Most vendors include this in the monthly cost; some pass through.
- Project services: floor care strip-and-wax, carpet extraction, post-construction cleanup, and similar are billed per project. See the pricing cheat sheet for typical ranges.
- Specialized requirements: ITAR clearance, prevailing wage, after-hours-only access, escort requirements, etc.
How to use this estimate
If a vendor’s bid is within plus or minus 20 percent of the range above, the price is in line with the CT/RI market. If a bid is dramatically below, expect understaffing or a year-one price reset. If a bid is dramatically above, ask for the specific justification.
