Lawn mowing price calculator

Price one cut from the size of the lawn: your rate per 1,000 square feet, or your minimum per stop if that is higher, plus trimming and edging, bagging, a surcharge for lawns cut every two weeks and a separate price for an overgrown first cut. Every number below is a starting assumption: replace it with yours and the price updates as you type.

The lawn and your rates

Lawn size is the mowed area in square feet; a quarter acre is 10,890. The rate per 1,000 sq ft can carry cents; the other money and percentages are whole numbers. Each line is rounded to whole dollars and the price is their sum.

How the price is worked out

  1. Mowing. Lawn size divided by 1,000, times your rate per 1,000 sq ft, rounded to whole dollars, with 50 cents rounding up. If your minimum per stop is higher, the mowing line is the minimum.
  2. Add-ons. Your trimming-and-edging and bagging prices, added as they are. Enter 0 for anything you include or do not offer.
  3. Every two weeks. Your surcharge percentage of mowing plus add-ons, rounded the same way, for grass that grows longer between cuts. Enter 0 for a weekly customer.
  4. Price per cut. Mowing plus add-ons plus the every-two-weeks surcharge, so the lines always add up to the price.
  5. Overgrown first cut. The price per cut plus your overgrown percentage of it, rounded the same way. It is quoted once and does not change the regular price.
