Startup cost calculator
Line-by-line startup budget for a pressure washing, lawn care or house cleaning business. Edit any number; nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
Where the starting numbers come from
- Pressure washing equipment: the cheapest option for each line on our startup costs page, as listed on PowerWash.com on Oct 30, 2026.
- Lawn and cleaning equipment: the first priced item in each category on our lawn care and house cleaning guides. A zero means we didn't have a listed price for that line.
- Software: QuoteIQ's entry plan, $29.99/mo billed monthly, from its pricing page checked Oct 29, 2026. See the price table for the alternatives.
- Everything marked "example" (fees, insurance, fuel, marketing, chemicals) is a placeholder so the math has something to add. They're not averages and not quotes. Get real quotes: insurance and license fees vary a lot by state.
