How much should you charge for window cleaning? Work out your own hourly rate and price list from a real week

The problem

Long days and a thin bank balance can mean the prices are too low or the day is too slow, but it's hard to see which without numbers. Dividing a real week's takings by every hour you worked, including driving and admin, tells you what you need to charge.

What AI does

AI works out your real hourly figure from one honest week of hours, takings and costs, then turns the figure you choose into prices by house type. It shows the working and gives no financial advice; the prices are yours.

Time

Time: About 30 minutesTools: ChatGPT, Google Sheets

The steps, in short

  1. Log every hour you work in a normal week, including driving and admin.
  2. Total that week's takings and costs.
  3. Have AI work out your real hourly figure and show the sums.
  4. Choose the figure you need, have AI turn it into prices, and compare with your current list.
