One tool, one job: price cleaning work for profit.

BidCalc exists because of a pattern that shows up in every cleaning-business forum: owners with a full schedule who still aren’t making money. The cause is almost never laziness — it’s pricing. Gut-feel quotes quietly skip labor burden, overhead and margin, and the average solo cleaner underprices their true cost-per-hour by 30–40% without knowing it.

The fix isn’t a $39–$450/month CRM. It’s the number. BidCalc runs the real cost formula — Bid = (Labor × 1.30 + Supplies + Overhead) ÷ (1 − margin) — on your own rates, protects your target margin on every job, and turns the result into a branded quote you can send from the driveway. No scheduling, no dispatch, no lock-in.

It’s built and run by Vladimir Boldyrev, an independent product engineer who builds small, focused, zero-fluff software tools (BidCalc is one of a family that includes ConvertStatement). One person, one focused tool, straight answers — not an enterprise sales machine.

The calculator is free, with no credit card. Pro is $29/month, and you can cancel in one click. Your costs and margin never leave your account — the client only ever sees the final price.
