How much cleaning fee should your homestay charge?

A cleaning fee should start with the true cost of each guest turnover: cleaner pay, laundry and consumable supplies. This calculator adds all three, rounds the suggested fee up to the nearest RM5, and shows the monthly cost at your booking volume. Cleaning time is also shown for planning.

How does this calculator work?

True cost per stay = cleaner pay + laundry + supplies. The suggested fee is the true cost rounded up to the nearest RM5. Monthly cleaning cost = true cost per stay x bookings. Cleaning minutes only measure operating time because no extra hourly labour rate is entered.
