Main Calculator
Default based on the May 2025 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics national mean wage for General Maintenance and Repair Workers. Editable.

Extra bag-only visit: a separate trip primarily to replenish dog-waste bags without performing a full receptacle service.
Editable national planning assumption based on U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics employer-compensation data. Actual employer benefit and payroll costs vary.
Illustrative planning assumption. Actual travel and transition time varies by property layout and route. Editable.
Default based on the IRS optional business mileage rate effective July 1-December 31, 2026. Editable.
Payroll burden is added to the hourly wage to give the loaded hourly rate. Travel time and mileage apply to every service visit for both systems.
