Solo Cleaner & Maid Service Edition

You charge $160 for that clean. After supplies, drive time, and the helper, do you actually know what you kept per hour?

Most cleaners are guessing. They take the jobs, cash the checks, and never find out that half their week pays less than the job they quit. This cleaning business client tracker spreadsheet logs every job, client, recurring schedule, supply run, and mile, so you see your real hourly rate per job and know your cleaning business tax deductions before the IRS does. Works in Excel and Google Sheets. Pay $29 once, it is yours forever. No app, no monthly fee, no one touching your client list but you.

What it does

Everything you actually need, nothing you don't.

Built for the real money of your work: the numbers that decide if you made a profit, and the deductions most people leave on the table.

Most used

Your real effective hourly rate, per job

The Jobs Log takes your sticker price, subtracts supplies, fuel, drive time, and helper pay, then divides by hours on site. You finally see which cleans pay $45/hr and which quietly pay $19, so you can re-price the losers or drop them. This is the answer to how much to charge for house cleaning in 2026, built from your own numbers, not a blog's guess.

Most used

A recurring schedule that flags itself

Mark each client weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or one-time. The Schedule tab shows who is due this week, who is overdue, and which slots are still open to fill, so you stop losing recurring revenue to a missed text.

Client book with lifetime value

Every client in one place with address, frequency, rate, gate codes, and pet notes, plus total revenue to date. You spot your most valuable accounts and catch the ones quietly churning before they are gone for good.

Supply and equipment cost per job

Log every supply run on the Supplies tab and the spreadsheet spreads it across jobs as cost of goods. You instantly see whether you are spending a healthy $3 to $8 per clean or bleeding margin on product nobody asked for.

Mileage log at the 2026 rate of 72.5 cents

Drive between jobs and to the supply store, and the Mileage Log turns those miles into a deduction automatically at the 2026 IRS rate of 72.5 cents per mile. Date, purpose, and odometer fields are built in, so it holds up if anyone ever asks. This is the cleaning business tax deduction most solo cleaners leave on the table.

Quarterly tax set-aside, calculated for you

As money comes in, the Tax Summary estimates your self-employment tax and tells you exactly what to park for the April, June, September, and January deadlines. The Helpers & Subs tab even flags when you cross the 2026 $2,000 1099-NEC threshold (raised from $600). The IRS letter is never a surprise again.

Questions

Straight answers.

Do I need to be good with spreadsheets to use this?

No. You type in the price you charged, your hours, and what you spent on supplies, and the formulas do the math. The dashboard updates itself. If you can fill in a row, you can run it.

Does it work in Google Sheets, or only Excel?

Both. You get an Excel file and a Google Sheets version. Use it on your laptop at home or on your phone in the car between jobs. Your data syncs through your own Google account, never through us.

Is this really a one-time $29, or does it turn into a subscription?

One time, $29, forever. No monthly fee, no trial that converts, no per-client pricing. The cleaning apps charge $30 to $90 every month, which adds up to hundreds of dollars a year. This is yours after one payment and the price never changes.

How does it help me figure out what to charge for house cleaning in 2026?

It works backward from your real costs. Log a few jobs and you will see your actual effective hourly rate after supplies, drive time, and helper pay. Once you know the rate you need to hit, you can price new quotes with real numbers instead of guessing, which is far more reliable than any 'average price' chart online.

Will it track my deductions and what to set aside for quarterly taxes?

Yes. The Expenses tab sorts every Schedule C write-off by IRS line, the Mileage Log captures your miles at 72.5 cents, and the Tax Summary estimates your self-employment tax and shows what to park for each quarterly deadline. The Helpers & Subs tab flags when you pay someone $2,000 or more (the 2026 1099-NEC threshold, raised from $600). It is a planning tool, not a replacement for your tax preparer.
