Indicative calculation only — does not account for VAT, materials markup, or holiday/sickness reserves. Always check the maths against your actual figures.
Most UK tradespeople undercharge by 30–50% — not because they're trying to win on price, but because they're calculating the rate against an unrealistic number of billable hours per week. A 40-hour week doesn't translate into 40 billable hours. Travel, quoting, admin, materials runs and the inevitable cancellations all eat into the day.
A reliable hourly rate calculation starts from the back: what do you want to take home, what does the business cost to run, and how many hours are you genuinely going to bill across a year. Most owners discover they need to charge 20–40% more than they currently do once they put the real numbers in.
