#### Formula

Session Cost = (Space Size × Base Rate × Frequency Multiplier × Occupant Factor) + Supply Category Costs

Monthly Cost = Session Cost × Cleaning Frequency (sessions/month)

Annual Cost = Monthly Cost × 12

Base Rate (per sq ft per session): Residential = $0.006 • Office = $0.009 • Industrial = $0.007 • Medical = $0.018

Frequency Multiplier = 1 − 0.01 × min(freq − 1, 10) — reflects bulk-use discount up to 10% for high-frequency cleaning

Occupant Factor = 1 + (occupants − 1) × 0.005 — each additional person adds 0.5% to supply consumption

Supply Category Costs (per session): General Cleaners = $0.80 • Disinfectants = $1.20 • Paper Products = $0.60 • Tools & Equipment = $0.50 • Specialty Cleaners = $1.50
