Not government data
Price ranges for each kind of cleaning come from published cost guides of private marketplaces, listed with dates on the methodology page. Cleaning times and the company markup are our own stated assumptions.
Prices and take-home figures are planning estimates, not tax advice. For your own tax, ask a tax professional or use the IRS pages above.
