thats assuming you work mon-fri every day of the year with no holidays. also assuming you have no business overheads, such as van, tools, insurance, fuel, phone etc. your 31K / year is starting to drop pretty quickly....

As andy says, while its not a bad rate to be being paid 'on the cards', its a terrible one to be charging the customer as overheads have to come out of it. A general rule of thumb is rate to customer just a tad under twice what you want to earn. So if you are charging out at 15 quid on hour, you might be earning the equivelent of a wage of 8 quid on hour... doesnt look quite as good does it, lol

i agree,but he was supplying labour only so its not a bad day rate really,
