Hi, it all depends in which area you are in as for around here its as low from 50p per window to £1.50 per window.
I charge £1.25 per window for domestic and an hourly rate for commercial.
Hope this gives you some idea or even helps you. ;D

we price all jobs based on time.

take what you want to make per hour then double it to allow for driving from job to job etc

have a look at this
http://www.wfp-brush.co.uk/resources/book

goes beyond the simple approach of how much for cleaning a window
if you need to ask about charging for window cleaning
its a invaluable investment

the book explains more about profit, which is what you are really asking about

its all very well saying £1 a window or £2 or even £3
dont mean anything on its own
how do you manage to check your profits
when you have already got customers on your round
you could work 70 hour week
or work phisically faster every day
its the same thing it dosent mean anything

Well charging what i do works for me,it's easy and ive done it before to under quote atleast if it's say £1 a window your not doing yourself.But i will say the more you quote for, the easier it becomes, as you can compare with others you do.

sorry mate wasnt having a go at you
you are right past experience helps a lot and is important
but you still need something to work from for the future
as long as you put your prices up with inflation £1 a window
will keep you where you are for years
its a very simple plan and you cant expect to much from that
