FairCost Index: Sydney house cleaning evidence
These cohorts describe reconciled bookings from the disclosed operator. They are not a representative survey of the Sydney market.
Check the dates, scope and GST basis of each cohort before comparing.
Compare like-for-like bedroom cohorts
Each chart holds the operator, clean type, frequency, observation window, currency and GST basis constant. Bedroom groups remain separate. The all-frequency view describes a mix of booking frequencies and cannot establish the effect of a frequency discount.
Line: Q1–Q3. Dot: median. AUD per visit. Each bedroom group is separate; the lines do not form a pooled market range.

Source and methodologyLimitations
- One founder-owned operator is not a representative sample of Sydney cleaners.
- Repeated visits count as bookings; they are not independent households.
- These cohorts cover regular completed cleaning only. Deep and end-of-lease jobs need different evidence.
- Bedroom count does not control bathrooms, property condition, time allowance or every inclusion.
- The published window and frequency mix can affect comparisons. No inflation trend or causal discount effect is inferred from these charts.
- No pooled median or IQR is reconstructed from the bedroom summaries.
