Rates per mile

[steveohim]

I'm going to be using my transit connect for doing deliveries and collections etc and I was just wondering how much I should be charging for fuel per mile? My transit is a 1.8 diesel

Taxman says 40p per miles for the the first 10,000 then 25p upto 40,000 I think.

[g-man]

i price 50p/mile if i'm travelling over 5mile to do a job

[deps-online]

I charge 45p

[steveohim]

Will that just cover fuel?what do you charge for actually doing the job?

[g-man]

i'm not collecting/delivering mate

95p a mile is going rate for me but some time higher depending on job

It costs me 17p per mile for fuel alone to run my 1.8 TC.
You will have running costs (servicing and repairs, etc. ) and standing costs (road tax & insurance, depreciation etc.) on top of that. If you had a bank account that gives you a good interest rate then work out what interest your costs would have got you and add to your standing costs. Then divide all your costs by last years mileage will give a figure that you can start from (pence per mile ). Don't go below it.
