Cleaning Staff Labor Cost Calculator
Calculate the total labor cost for your cleaning staff, including hourly wages, benefits, payroll taxes, and overhead expenses.
Number of Cleaning Staff
Hourly Wage per Worker ($)
Hours Worked per Worker per Week
Weeks Worked per Year
Overtime Hours per Worker per Week (optional)
Benefits Rate (% of base wages, e.g. health, dental)
Payroll Tax Rate (% of base wages, e.g. FICA, FUTA)
Overhead / Admin Rate (% of base wages, e.g. uniforms, supplies, training)

#### Formula
Regular Wages (per worker/yr) = Hourly Wage × Hours/Week × Weeks/Year
Overtime Wages (per worker/yr) = (Hourly Wage × 1.5) × Overtime Hours/Week × Weeks/Year
Total Base Wages = (Regular Wages + Overtime Wages) × Number of Workers
Benefits Cost = Total Base Wages × (Benefits Rate / 100)
Payroll Tax Cost = Total Base Wages × (Payroll Tax Rate / 100)
Overhead Cost = Total Base Wages × (Overhead Rate / 100)
Total Annual Labor Cost = Total Base Wages + Benefits + Payroll Taxes + Overhead
Effective Cost per Hour = Total Annual Labor Cost ÷ Total Annual Hours Worked
#### Assumptions & References
- Overtime is calculated at 1.5× the regular hourly rate, per the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Verify local laws for your jurisdiction.
- The default payroll tax rate of 7.65% reflects the U.S. employer share of FICA (6.2% Social Security + 1.45% Medicare). FUTA adds up to 0.6% on the first $7,000 of wages; adjust accordingly.
- Benefits rate typically covers health insurance, dental, vision, paid time off (PTO), and retirement contributions. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports benefits average 30–40% of wages for service workers; 20% is a conservative estimate.
- Overhead / Admin rate covers uniforms, cleaning supplies, training, workers' compensation insurance, and administrative costs. Adjust based on your actual expenses.
