Pressure Washing Price Calculator
Stop guessing. Enter labor, drive time, chemicals, and the percent you want left after those costs to check your price before you quote.
The fastest way to lose money on a job is to copy a competitor’s price without knowing your own costs. Add labor, drive time, chemicals, equipment, card fees, and the percent you want left after those job costs. The calculator shows the lowest price that reaches that target.
Enter the price you’re considering and it shows the percent that may be left after the costs you entered. These are estimates, not final profit: overhead, taxes, your pay, and any missing costs will reduce what you keep.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I calculate the price of a pressure washing job?
- Add labor, round-trip drive time, chemicals, equipment, and fees. Choose the percent you want left after those job costs. The calculator shows the lowest price that reaches that target; then adjust for the surface, its condition, and the value to the customer.
- What is a price floor?
- Some operators call their lowest acceptable price a price floor. Here it means the lowest price that reaches the target you entered after the job costs and card fee estimate you entered. It is an estimate, not a promise of final profit.
- What profit margin should I target?
- There is no safe percentage for every business. Use your own overhead, pay, taxes, local wages, drive distances, and growth goals. Test several targets here, then compare completed jobs with what actually happened.
- Why include drive time as a cost?
- Drive time is paid time and vehicle wear with no revenue attached. A job 35 minutes away can clear less than a closer job at a lower price. Pricing in round-trip drive time - and favoring jobs that fill an existing route - protects your real margin.
