# Grease Trap Cost Calculator

[Grease Trap Cleaning Tampa](https://greasetrapcleaningtampa.com/) built this grease trap cost calculator from published Tampa Bay price ranges and each city and county's pumping rule. Pick three things to see how often you need service and what a year of it typically costs.

Your estimate

Plan a pump-out every

60 days

Visits per year

6–7

Typical cost per visit

$300–$550

Typical annual cost (6 visits)

$1,800–$3,300

Price evidence: **Medium confidence**. A 7th visit, when the calendar needs it, adds one more visit's cost.

**The rule:** City of Tampa: Pump before solids pass the outlet invert (~8 in), grease and solids exceed 25% of capacity, the unit stops retaining grease, a backup occurs, or sanitary waste enters [Tampa Code Ch. 26 Art. VII, Sec. 26-306](https://library.municode.com/fl/tampa/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=COOR_CH26UT_ARTVIIGRMA)

Your interval is set by your kitchen volume, which is shorter than the rule requires (or the rule has no fixed day count).

**Same visit as an emergency:** about $360–$1,100.

**Falling behind:** Tampa bills failed re-inspections at $61/hour; Florida can fine up to $250 per failure to clean.

Typical Tampa Bay market ranges with the confidence level shown. Not a quote. Your price depends on access, hose run, waste volume and disposal fees.

## How the calculator works

1.  **Your jurisdiction** sets the legal maximum interval: 30 days in Pinellas County, St. Petersburg and Largo; 90 days in unincorporated Hillsborough and Pasco; no fixed days in Tampa and Temple Terrace; city-set in Clearwater.
2.  **Your kitchen volume** sets a practical interval: 30, 60 or 90 days, reflecting typical industry practice. It isn't law.
3.  The **shorter of the two** is your interval. Visits per year are 365 divided by it (12–13 for 30 days, 4–5 for 90).
4.  **Your unit size** picks the price band. Annual cost uses the minimum visits.

Price bands and their confidence levels come from the [Tampa cost guide](https://greasetrapcleaningtampa.com/guide/grease-trap-cleaning-cost-tampa/). A measured 25% check (20% in Pasco) always decides the real schedule.

## Calculator questions

### Is the calculator result a quote?

No. It shows typical Tampa Bay market ranges with their confidence level. Your price depends on access, hose run, how full the unit is and disposal fees. Ask for a written quote before work starts.

### Why does the calculator use the minimum number of visits?

Because that is what the rule forces. When 365 days doesn't divide evenly by your interval, one extra visit may fall in the year; the result notes it.

### My kitchen is in Tampa. Why is there no legal maximum?

The City of Tampa uses condition-based triggers, not a day count: pump before grease and solids pass 25% or solids reach the outlet. The calculator uses your kitchen volume instead.
