Actually, you would be making less than $6.25 an hour over a years time on this monthly payment plan! Get out a yearly calendar and you will see all of the months of the year which have more days than just four seven day weeks. By my calculations it turns out to be almost 4 extra weeks of work either free to him or about $5.75 per hour to you over a years time. Minimum Wage in Texas is $7.25 per hour!

I suggest you ask to be paid by the week based on eight hours per week and I think a 'minimum' fair rate would be $80.00 per week. He's not going to find anyone reliable who will do all the work he's asking you to do for less than that! Also, make sure he is the one supplying all of the cleaning products and equipment! Sincere Good Luck To You!

That's $6.25/hr, that's ridiculous! I charge $15/hr to clean houses and no one has ever had a problem with it. I would come up with an hourly rate and tell him what it is. If he doesn't want to pay it, find a new client. He's not worth the trouble and doesn't appreciate your services. Good luck and be firm!

If I figured it correctly you would be getting $25 a day, or $6.25 an hour. I make more than that babysitting.

You are doing a lot of work. You deserve a lot more money! It sounds like the person you clean for is really trying to take advantage of you. I've had that happen to me. Insist on more money. Your time is worth more.

You are making approximately $6.50 an hour, if I figured it right. I'd say you need more money.

Is this cleaning for a rental unit between tenants? or for mid-week housekeeping during a single stay? The "owner clean" for my 3-bed, 3-bath rental villa on Kiawah is charged by the KI Golf Resort at $75 per occasion. (I suspect that I am getting a special rate since I am the owner.) I have known other 3-bedroom homes, which are privately rented, to charge up to $125 for cleaning between rental guests. (08/25/2008)

I lost my job 2 weeks ago and have been thinking of starting a cleaning business. I'm not sure what I should charge for this.
