Cleaning Fee Calculator for Airbnb Hosts to Find Exact Per-Turnover Costs
Enter your monthly labor and supply costs to find the exact per-turnover cleaning fee your listings should charge.
Enter the full amount you pay cleaners each month, whether a flat contract rate, hourly wages, or a per-turnover fee multiplied by your volume.
Enter your monthly spend on consumables: toiletries, paper goods, cleaning products, replacement linens, and any restocking items guests use.
Count every guest checkout that triggers a full clean across all units. A three-property portfolio averaging 8 turnovers each produces 24 — use the combined figure.
Your true cost for each guest checkout, calculated by dividing total monthly cleaning spend by the number of turnovers.

How the Cleaning Fee Calculator Works
You'll provide three key numbers. The calculator then crunches those inputs, including specific costs like the average $450 bill for a full apartment repaint, to generate a single, defensible per-turnover fee . It's not rocket science. But you can't skip a single field, because each one measures a real-world cost you'll eventually have to cover.
Total Cleaning Labor Cost (Monthly)
Every dollar paid to cleaners in a given month — flat contract rates, hourly wages, or per-turnover fees multiplied by volume.
This is your largest cost driver. Underreporting it by even 15% will push your calculated fee below break-even.
Total Supplies Cost (Monthly)
Monthly spend on consumables: toiletries, paper goods, cleaning products, replacement linens, and restocking items guests use.
Hosts who ignore this field routinely absorb $8–$20 per turnover in untracked supply costs.
Number of Turnovers per Month
Total guest checkouts processed each month across all units.
The calculator divides your combined costs by this number to produce a true per-stay cleaning cost — your minimum viable fee before any margin is added.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Calculator Account for Different Cleaning Rates Per Property Type?+
No, it produces a single per-turnover average across your entire portfolio. If your studio and your 4-bedroom cabin have very different labor costs, run the calculator separately for each property type to get accurate per-unit figures.
Should Supplies Like Laundry Detergent and Paper Goods Be Included in Total Supplies Cost?+
Yes. Include every consumable restocked during a turnover: toiletries, coffee pods, trash bags, cleaning chemicals, and paper products. Excluding these understates your true cost per turnover by an average of $8–$15 per stay.
What Counts as a Turnover for the Number of Turnovers Per Month Field?+
Count every guest checkout that triggers a full clean, regardless of stay length. A same-day back-to-back booking counts as two turnovers if two full cleans occur.
How Often Should Hosts Recalculate Their Cleaning Fee?+
Recalculate whenever labor rates change, supply costs shift by more than 10%, or your monthly turnover volume moves significantly. Quarterly reviews catch cost creep before it erodes your margin.
Can This Calculator Help Set Fees for Vrbo and Booking.com Listings Too?+
The cost-per-turnover output applies to any platform. Each channel has its own fee display conventions, but your underlying cost baseline stays the same regardless of where the booking originates.
