£40 per day Vince? Unless you have your tongue in your cheek you are doing something seriously wrong!!
You must in fact be the lowest earning self employed window cleaner in the country (newbies with ony a handful of accounts notwithstanding
)
For an accurate picture of your daily rate you need to look at your annual turnover.
The individual topping £200 per day is turning over a whopping 52k plus a year.
How many out there can actually average £100 per day throughout the year?
That is still £25,000 per year.
I'm betting the that the average window cleaner is doing somewhere around £15,000 per year.
I'm not disputing those that do much higher turnovers, I'm only saying that the average turnover per day of the average window cleaner is going to be more like £60 or £70
Spluttering a bit at that some of you??
I stuck my tongue in my cheek at the start of this reply about Vince's claimed turnover of only £40 per day, but over the year that gives him an annual turnover of a smidgin over 10k, probably only a little below the average.
I have one day every 8 weeks or so when I can top £300 in a single day, I wish to god I could have a day like that once a fortnight, let alone average it every day
When I work a full day I aim to actually turn over £100 plus, next year I might even average that, but my true average, taken over the full 52 weeks of the year is more like £75 (and yeah, that actually shocked me a bit when I worked it out too)
I'm kind of twisting things a bit, but to average £100 per day, on the actual days you do work, you'll have turnover between £150-£175. Maybe even more than that.
We don't work 52 weeks per year, we don't work 8 hour days, we have holidays, we'll lose time due to the weather and so on and so on.
A big mistake of people starting up is to under estimate their prices, they may have come out of full time employment and being paid...say...£7.00 an hour.
Perhaps they read the forums and see figures of £25 plus and more per hour being talked about.
You'd think it would be easy to earn double his old salary, £14 per hour, thats almost 10 quid and hour less than so many seem to turnover on here isn't it?
£560 per week!! Bring it on
(basing figures on a 40 hour week)
You can play with figure all you like, daily turnover isn't the important one, annual turnover is the one that counts, thats the one that gives you the true average daily turnover.
I clicked the £100-£150 option, and as far as it goes it was true, thats my daily target but at the end of the year, my true average daily turnover for the full working year is going to be under £100...quite a bit under actually
But more than Vince's though
