Title: How much do we all earn?
Post by: Mike_G on January 28, 2013, 05:26:31 pm
Less than most on here claim to, thats for sure. The tables of earnings are out again and I will say nothing but you will need to scroll down an awful long way to find window cleaners. Also next time someone comes on this site asking how much we earn just send them the link, they wont start up then and we will all get some extra work or at least less competition

That would be a employed window cleaner. Not a self employed sole trader

I wouldn't get out of the bath for a wee for less than 55,000. If my custies pay me in cash and it's not been ironed first then I throw it away!!! I only work 20 minutes a day on the glass, and I have 4 three week holidays a year to Florida etc. I've got 5 cars all of which are worth at least 80K and I'm thinking about selling up because I'm bored with this malarky.

Thats probably taking into account a traditional window cleaner. Sounds about right after expences and tbh. When people on here state what they earn its always before deductions which isnt the real figure. Anyone can clean £150 a day but take off fuel, tax, nat insurence, van wear and tear insurence tax mot etc etc that £150 soon turns into £80 for the day.
Id say that figure is quite accurate.

Don't focused how much money you want to earn a year, just set yourself a target how much you can earn a day.

When I started out my goal was to try and at least earn £60 everyday and then build on from there, it took me a long time to get up and going.
