Is that make for you, or turn over.

If you talk about make, it is currently about 23% as that is what my net profit is
If you mean turnover then that is 4x more

Which do you mean ?

I mean what is left after you have deducted their wages from the amount they have produced.

Again that's not a very helpful starting point, as Dave says there are umpteen other expenses with employing that you have to take into consideration, staff wages are only the start.

Factor in van expenses, employers liability, employers NI contributions, repairs and renewals to equipment, time spent in admin etc etc.

In our system we have a net profit of 20%, not far off what Dave achieves but with none of the above hassle.

For argument sake, you get paid £50, he gets paid £50, thats leaves £100. Now minus the fuel, taxes, insurance etc... you do the maths?

In a nutshell... not a lot  ;)

Your assuming I want to know that. I just want to know what is left after youve paid their wages. I know there are other expenses. But for this exercise theyre irrelevant.

Employee turnover - wages = what's left

Is this what you're asking, Matt?
