Cleaning hourly vs flat quote comparison calculator

Direct answer: hourly total = estimated hours × hourly rate; difference = flat quote − hourly total. If the difference is positive, the hourly quote is cheaper by that amount; if it is negative, the flat quote is cheaper. For 3 hours at 60 per hour against a flat quote of 200, the hourly total is 180, the difference is 20, and the hourly quote is cheaper by 20. This page does the arithmetic for you — nothing is sent anywhere, and no signup is needed.

This calculator does arithmetic only, not pricing or legal advice. An hourly quote only stays cheaper if the job really takes the estimated hours — if it runs long, the hourly total rises past the flat quote, so re-check the hour estimate against similar past jobs before quoting.
