These tools allow you to maintain pricing accuracy while reflecting real-world job variations. All adjustments apply to new quotes only.

​
Surcharges

Surcharges are fixed or percentage-based additions applied to the base quote under specific conditions. Common surcharges include:
  • Hard-to-reach windows or multi-story properties
  • Restricted access or difficult entry
  • Specialized cleaning requirements (e.g., post-construction, hard water removal)
  • Equipment or safety requirements
Surcharges can be configured as:
  • Flat fees: a fixed dollar amount added to the quote
  • Percentage-based: a percent of the base price or total quote

​
Multipliers

Multipliers increase the base price proportionally based on specific factors. Examples include:
  • Property height or number of stories
  • Job complexity level
  • Service frequency adjustments
  • Volume-based adjustments for large properties or multi-unit buildings
Multipliers are applied after base pricing and can stack with other multipliers, but should be carefully managed to avoid overcharging.

​
Application Order

To ensure predictable pricing, Estizee applies adjustments in the following order:
  1. Base pricing
  2. Minimum service charge checks
  3. Property-specific multipliers
  4. Service add-ons
  5. Surcharges
  6. Frequency or commercial adjustments
  7. Manual/admin overrides (if applicable)

​
Best Practices

  • Use multipliers for proportional adjustments rather than flat fees when appropriate
  • Apply surcharges only for measurable or justifiable conditions
  • Review stacked multipliers to prevent excessive pricing
  • Regularly audit pricing rules to maintain consistency and fairness
Correct use of surcharges and multipliers ensures quotes are accurate, fair, and reflective of job conditions, while minimizing manual adjustments.
