Quick answer: $4 to $8 per pane for inside and outside is the 2026 range cited by industry guides. Outside-only work is usually 50% to 70% of that.
When to price by the pane
A standard window has two panes. A colonial or French window can have 10 to 20. Per-window pricing loses money on those homes, so many cleaners switch to per-pane pricing. 2026 industry guides put pane pricing at roughly $4 to $8 per pane for inside and outside.
| Item | Typical 2026 rate |
|---|---|
| Pane (inside + outside) | $4 – $8 |
| Screen cleaning | $2 – $5 each |
| Minimum job fee | $100 – $250 |
Counting panes quickly
- Count the panes in one window of each style, then multiply by how many of that style the home has.
- Storm windows and inserts count as extra panes if you clean both surfaces.
- Use the access surcharge for ladder work instead of guessing a higher pane rate.
