Post by: AuRavelling79 on November 17, 2005, 09:34:23 pm: There's average earnings before allowable expenses. That figure sounds like average earnings after allowable expenses to me.

It isn't until you work out your money at the end of the tax year that you find out how much you are really averaging..

I can knock out a house in 10 minutes, £8-10 per house. whats that? Go for the lower one...£48 per hour.
40 hours a week?...Mmm now we are earning the big stuff eh...£1920 per week, that £99840 per year!!!!!

Stuff of dreams of course, cloud cuckoo land.

The reality is that after a years work, most of us will be on something under 20k

Ahh well, bloody freezing out there, but if I don't go now I'll struggle to put bread on the table :'(

Post by: Andrew McCann on November 18, 2005, 07:42:12 pm: We hit the 50+ mark last week Dave.

9 more so far this week. I am very happy with the response so far. We have plans for the New Year that will allow us to make more of them and bring them to a far wider audience.

This will probably get "moderated" but you asked me a question and I am happy to answer it.

Post by: Andrew McCann on November 18, 2005, 08:04:22 pm: Cheers Dave... it's appreciated. :)

OK it's great to see a "brainchild" doing well but whats most important to me is that there are now 50+ other window cleaners like me who now stand a far better chance of getting home in one piece than before.

Post by: Londoner on November 20, 2005, 08:51:14 am: The big question is not really how much you earn per hour its more like how many hours in a day are actually spent earning. Dai has got it right. If you could just get on with it you would make a fortune but most of your day is spent on non earnig tasks.

Post by: Alex Gardiner on December 09, 2005, 08:48:28 am: I earn a lot more than £9 an hour, I try to earn £30-40 an hour whilst on a job, but then when you factor in travelling etc etc it works out at much much less :(

The Tax man has the overall figure about right I guess.
