Thinking of starting out on my own how much can I earn a day/week?

Don't forget being self employed means no holiday or sick pay and your working day doesn't end when you leave the job, there's always paperwork, invoices, quotes etc. However, when you become successful you only have to work 3 1/2 days a week and every Friday is known as "Andysday"

3,5 days a Week.....
boom

Thanks for thinking of me Geoff. I'm still at it 9.5 years later, so I must me getting something right! However, I think I'm charging too low, but I am happy enough with my wage. I tend to make more money on the materials these days. I'm lucky enough to have the room to buy in bulk and to buy on trade days at tile shops (buy 2 get 1 free etc). A BAL rep even gave me 15sqm of their decoupling mat to try out the other week. They told me that a lot of tilers stay away from trade days in case they get suckered into buying things they don't want. I always make a point of attending........free stuff !!!

There is no going rate Donald. Read plenty of threads on this site and you will get an idea. Every week is different. It depends on your circumstances too. Do you need to earn a certain level? I was lucky enough to have 25 years of IT behind me and a redundancy package.

If you do decide then good luck.
