Firstly I'm happy!
The other day I did some calculations.
From my turnover figure, ie total earnings, I deducted all my expenses and tax provision etc and came out with 50% net profit.
Is this about the same as some of you guys?

That would mean out of a turnover of 30k you would be left with 15k, sounds a bit steep to me.

Sounds about right maybe few percent more but 50% I find is a good rule of thumb

Quite right Sean! I need more turnover!!
I have just ordered the stuff for an upgrade on the ro unit which should reduce my water and power useage.
Also I have high fuel costs as I only do Military customers, well 80%, and some sites are a 70 mile round trip.
I'm getting more work closer to home and my equipment shouldn't need too much spending on it.
So percentage should improve a bit.
This business is a bit like fishing if you are not careful, you always want to buy better gear and have the current best equipment!
