About this calculator

Estimate a fair, profitable price for a car detailing job based on vehicle size, service level, labor time, and product costs.

How does vehicle size affect price?

Larger vehicles like SUVs and vans take more time and materials to detail, so the calculator applies a size multiplier to labor hours.

What margin should I target?

Most independent detailers aim for 25-40% margin after covering labor and supply costs, though premium mobile services can go higher.

Does this include travel time?

You can add a flat travel/mobile fee separately if you drive to the client's location.
