I've been running my own housecleaning business for the last 4 years. I like to see a place and how they live before I give a definite price, but I always give a general estimate just so they know what they are getting into, and let the client know that if I feel it should be more or less, it could change for the next cleaning.
I charge $60 for a 2-3 hour job, supplies included, or $75 for a 3-4 hour job. 5-6 hrs. is $90. That's pretty much what it takes me to clean your average upper-income or high-income house.
This is based on around a $15+ hr.
For bigger or one-time jobs (I specialize in rental rennovation, especially nasty evicitions) I base it on $15/hr for BASIC cleaning supplies. But if they need things like drain-o, light bulbs, shower curtains, dump runs, or things that take excessive product to clean, that's additional, and just based on how much the recipt plus your gas money to retreive the items and/or do the job.
Good luck in your business!
Oh - I should also mention - I live in Spokane where the cost of living is relatively low. Your prices should reflect what you need to live and the tax rate!! We don't have tax on services, just product here.

I clean a home every other week for a bachelor, 2 bedroom, 2 bath, hard wood floors and some carpeting. Basic general cleaning, no making beds or picking up, he does this. Occasionally have to put a few dishes in the dishwasher. Pricing for windows and refrigerator is separate and billed when done. Generally it takes me an average of 1 1/2 hours and I charge a flat rate of $45 dollars. Live in Central California. Depending on where you live, pricing varies, hope this helps give you an idea

I would do it by how large the room is and what cleaning services you are going to perform.
