Sam: a first-year gardener, 28 billable hours a week, £9,650 a year in costs. Estimate for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Not tax advice.

You priced by guessing, or by copying what someone else charges.

Then the hours, the tip fees and the tax bill arrived.

  • Quoting from your gut or a competitor’s number.
  • Forgetting unpaid time, tip fees and tax.
  • Not knowing the lowest price you can accept.

One month. Four weeks.

Pick a week and try a page from it. Move a slider and the working updates. Under each example is the real page from the workbook.
