Use Reset to restore the original example values.

Per-visit total = (base service + add-ons) × (1 + tip rate ÷ 100). Annual cost = per-visit total × visits per month × 12.

What the result means

The result is the yearly cash budget required for the selected service schedule.

Taxes, one-time deep cleans, and cancellation fees should be added to the entered averages when applicable.

Given: two visits monthly, a $140 base price, $25 in add-ons, and a 10% tip. Calculation: ($140 + $25) × 1.10 = $181.50 per visit; $181.50 × 2 × 12 = $4,356. Result: estimated annual cost is $4,356.

Should I enter tax in the base price?

Use the final billed base amount when tax is consistently charged. Otherwise add it to the add-on estimate.

How do I model every-other-week service?

About 2.17 visits per month reflects 26 visits per year, but the field accepts whole visits; use 2 for a simple conservative estimate.

Are supplies included?

Include supply charges in add-ons when they are billed separately.

Can I compare weekly and monthly service?

Run each frequency separately and compare the annual totals.

Does home size affect the result?

Only through the quoted service price. The calculator does not estimate price from square footage.
