My calculations assume I can get paid work for 220 days of the year

no month is the same .you could be working one week and not the other .

You lost me..... My business plan, for the year "assumes" I can work 220 days per year - I've not had an "unplanned" day off for about 7 years.

£900 of overheads per month - that sounds a lot.

Mine are around £550

Hi Murdoch,

That was just an example. My Overheads come in at £635 pm.

It was more the formula and calculations I wanted to get across.

 

[Mark.W]

what is your day rate or h/rate ?

I charge £22.50 for domestic and £35 for commercial. Day rate is £250

 

[buzzlightyear]

I charge £22.50 for domestic

try£ 30.00 p/h .if I was you .you run a business
not a charity .

Even for domestic?

I charge £22.50 for domestic and £35 for commercial. Day rate is £250

So when working on domestic you work over 10 hours per day?

 

[Mark.W]

What are everyone else's rates? and do you charge differently for Domestic and commercial?

 

[buzzlightyear]

Even for domestic?

yes.
