Charging

[fulham sparks]

How much should I charge to replace an extractor fan (no drilling just a straight swap) tomorrow? Just 'labour'.. Cheers

your hourly rate?

Well its going to take you all of half an hour so just charge for an hour.

I usually charge a bit more for my first hour to cover travelling etc

Lovely thanks for that I fancied slapping on an extra

 

[NozSpark]

Is it your choice that you are working on a Saturday or is it their request?

If they want it then add the extra

Any business that has no idea how to work out thier own product costs will have some serious difficulties IMHO. Every business has to cover thier stock, overheads and staffing costs. Typically for a sole trader this is materials, labour, insurances, fuel. These items differ around the country and relative to the size of business. Slipshop gives a prime example of many typical costs that have to be taken into account as well as the basic material stock item you are supplying. As such any costing advice on the forum has to be treated with caution by anyone who has no idea how to work out their own costings.
