Snow Removal Cost Formula

The estimated cost is calculated using the following formula:

Estimated Cost = (Property Size × Frequency Factor × Service Rate) × 1.15

Where:

Property Size - Your property size in square feet
Frequency Factor - Multiplier based on service frequency (1.0 for weekly, 0.7 for bi-weekly, 0.5 for monthly)
Service Rate - Base rate per square foot for the selected service type
1.15 - Adjustment factor for labor, equipment, and other costs

Service rates are based on average rates in Ontario:

Basic service: $0.08 per square foot
Premium service: $0.12 per square foot
Premium plus service: $0.15 per square foot

Worked Example

Let's calculate the estimated cost for a 1,500 square foot property with bi-weekly premium service:

Property Size = 1,500 sq ft
Frequency Factor = 0.7 (bi-weekly)
Service Rate = $0.12 (premium)
Calculation: (1,500 × 0.7 × 0.12) × 1.15 = $138.60

The estimated cost would be approximately $138.60 per service.

Property Size - Larger properties require more time and equipment
