How to build a house cleaning quote calculator for a cleaning business, priced from your rates

About 10 minutesNo codeFree ChatGPT account works

A house cleaning quote calculator prices a clean from the home's square feet and the type of clean, adds extras like the inside of the oven or the fridge, takes off your discount for recurring visits and never quotes below your minimum. You build it in ChatGPT with the CalcForms app from the rates your cleaning business already charges. The example below uses sample rates that sit inside the ranges MoonInvoice and Joist publish.

Step by step

  1. Connect CalcForms in ChatGPT

    Find the CalcForms app page in ChatGPT, click Install plugin, then sign in with the 6-digit code we email you. A free ChatGPT plan works, and you connect once for all your forms.

  2. Say your rate for each type of clean

    In a new chat, give your price per square foot for each clean you sell: "Standard clean $0.10 a square foot, deep clean $0.15." Then the extras with their prices: "Inside the oven $30, inside the fridge $40."

  3. Ask about the home and how often

    Have the form ask for the square feet, the type of clean, which extras they want, and how often: one time, every two weeks or monthly. If a customer may not know the square feet, ask for bedrooms instead and tell ChatGPT the size you assume for each count.

  4. Set the recurring discount and your minimum

    Give both rules in one sentence: "Take 10% off visits every two weeks, and never charge less than $150 a visit." The discount comes off first and the minimum is checked last, so a small apartment still pays $150.

  5. Price a home you already clean, then publish

    Enter a regular client's home and compare the result with what you charge them. Say "publish it", then text the link to people who ask for a price, or add it to your booking page.

Worked example: a 2,200 sq ft home, on sample rates

LineWorked outAmount
Deep clean2,200 sq ft × $0.15$330.00
Inside the oven1 × $30$30.00
Inside the fridge1 × $40$40.00
Deep clean with both extras$330 + $30 + $40$400.00
Standard clean2,200 sq ft × $0.10$220.00
Every two weeks, 10% off$220 × 0.90$198.00

A one-time deep clean with both extras shows $400, and a standard clean every two weeks shows $198 a visit. Both are above the $150 minimum.

Sample rates for this example, not a quote. Put your own rates in the form.

The words to say

Copy this into ChatGPT (with CalcForms added) and fill in the brackets.

Say this to ChatGPT

"Build me a house cleaning quote form. Ask for square feet, the type of clean (standard or deep), extras ([inside the oven], [inside the fridge]) and how often (one time, every two weeks, monthly). Price: square feet × [$0.10] for standard or [$0.15] for deep, plus [$30] for the oven and [$40] for the fridge. Take [10]% off visits every two weeks, charge at least [$150], and show the customer the total. Then publish it."

What you will see

A short form a customer can finish on a phone, with a total that changes as they pick the clean, the extras and how often you come. Each reply reaches you in ChatGPT, or in the web portal on Pro, with the square feet, the clean they chose and every extra priced.

Questions about a house cleaning quote calculator

How much should a cleaning business charge per square foot?
MoonInvoice's pricing guide lists $0.05 to $0.15 a square foot for a standard clean and $0.13 to $0.17 for a deep clean (last updated 2 March 2026, read 6 November 2026). The form uses whichever rates you give it, and you can change them later by asking.
What do cleaners charge to clean the oven and the fridge?
Joist's house cleaning pricing guide lists oven cleaning at $30 and cleaning a refrigerator at $30 to $50 (last updated 15 July 2026, read 6 November 2026). In the form, each extra is a yes or no question with its own price.
Is there a house cleaning quote app my customers have to download?
No. The quote form is a link that opens in a phone browser, with nothing to install. Send it by text or email, or add it to the "Get a quote" button on your website. You build it and change it in ChatGPT.
Can the form give a discount for recurring cleaning?
Yes. Ask how often, and give each answer its discount, for example "10% off every two weeks, 5% off monthly". In the worked example a 2,200 sq ft standard clean is $220 once, and $198 a visit every two weeks.
What does CalcForms cost?
Building and running forms in ChatGPT is free, with unlimited forms and replies and no card. The web portal, with the dashboard, insights, exports and branding, is Pro. 1 day free, then $12.99 a month, billed monthly. Card required. Cancel any time; Pro stays on until the month ends.
