Commercial cleaning cost calculator
An honest ballpark for what commercial cleaning costs in Melbourne in 2026, built from typical market rates, not a sales pitch. Three inputs, no email required.
A rough guide: allow 8–12 m² per desk for a typical office.
A guide, ex GST, not a quote. Oscar White sells a fixed monthly package against a written scope, not cleaner-hours — the general market figure is shown so you can see the difference the standard costs. Where a real number lands depends on scope, access and frequency. See the full market map →

A 15-minute call and a walkthrough gets you a transparent, itemised quote tied to a written scope.

Two different things are shown, deliberately. The Oscar White figure is a package, not a calculation: a standard office floor at a standard frequency has a published monthly price, and the calculator simply tells you which one you are in. Nobody buys cleaner-hours, so we do not price them for you.
The market figure is a calculation, and it is there for comparison. It estimates hours from your floor area using typical productivity rates of 150–300 m² per hour (a light maintenance clean moves faster than a thorough one), weights them for the demands of your space type, applies a two-hour minimum visit, and prices those hours at the general Melbourne mid-market band of $45–$70 per cleaner hour ex GST. That is what the rest of the market would quote you.
If your site sits outside the package bands — a large floor, a small suite, a single weekly visit, or a member-facing or clinical space — the tool says so instead of inventing a number. Those sites are genuinely quoted at the walkthrough. The full breakdown is in our guide to average commercial cleaning rates in Melbourne.
