Title: Water usage v income
Post by: pingu on September 02, 2008, 11:13:36 am

I have just been completing my 8weekly stats for the accountant and does anyone else see a very clear paralle between their gross income and litres used....Just curious

When i had a trolley i was at 80p+ per litre and now just using van mount and loads more water it is around 60 pence, give or take.

Similar to above with van mount, maybe slightly more some days, less others.

I guess I'm around 50p a liter. Should put my prices up. Mind you trad I was more like £10 a liter.

Just worked ours out (very quickly) and it works out @ £0.60 per litre, not including revenue from squeegee work.

that is turnover, not profit I may hasten to add - I wish it was profit.

not cost - turnover per litre used.

eg if you used 400 ltrs and made £200 thats 50pa litre.
