What is your hourly rate as a self employed electrician? (2024-25)

It's getting more interesting now more are voting.
The £40 - £49 band is still by far the most popular, but the rest of the votes are now far more spaced out.
I expect this is partly due to regional variation, although that's almost ridiculous to say given the small population of results.

You can’t run a business at £20 per hour. I’d suggest those charging that don’t have a true handle on their business outgoings. In this day and age with various costs I be looking at £50 per hour as a minimum.

Not sure if the rates include/exclude VAT

Within the last 2 days I've had 2 small quotes, charged at £75 first hour, then £50. The customers didn't even blink. Both jobs accepted.
I think half the time it's just changing our own mind set about what a high price is.
