Cost of your time

[Nishi85]

Hi all I'm currently working out my coatings. I've done the cost of treatments but how do I work out what to charge for my time? For example say a treatment costs £6.98 (cost of products etc) and takes me half an hour how do I charge for my time? Hope that makes sense

Your time is just what you want to be paid per hour and divided by treatment time (£13.20ph, treatment time takes 30min so wage costs would be £6.60). Also make sure you've factored in laundry, insurance, telephone etc. into your operating costs, as it's the little things that usually catch people unawares and cause problems down the line

I did a calculation for another poster on how to charge for treatments, etc. - read through this thread:-
