Maid Service Frequency Savings Calculator
Compare the annual cost of different maid service frequencies and see how much you can save by switching to a less frequent schedule.

Current Cleaning Frequency
Weekly (52x/year) Bi-Weekly (26x/year) Monthly (12x/year) Quarterly (4x/year)
New Cleaning Frequency
Weekly (52x/year) Bi-Weekly (26x/year) Monthly (12x/year) Quarterly (4x/year)
Base Rate per Visit ($)
Size Surcharge ($/100 sq ft above 1000)

#### Formula
Size Surcharge per Visit = max(0, (Home Size − 1,000) / 100) × Size Surcharge Rate
Frequency Discount = Applied only to the higher-frequency schedule (rewards more frequent bookings)
Cost per Visit = (Base Rate + Size Surcharge) × (1 − Frequency Discount) × (1 + Tip %)
Annual Cleaning Cost = Cost per Visit × Number of Visits per Year
Total Annual Cost = Annual Cleaning Cost + (Monthly Supply Cost × 12)
Annual Savings = Current Total Annual Cost − New Total Annual Cost
Savings % = (Annual Savings / Current Total Annual Cost) × 100
