What do you pay your cleaner per hour?

[NoCarbsForMe]

And have they put their prices up recently?

£15 per hour in London, uses my products - pay an extra week’s wages at Christmas

£17 per hour and a present and a £50 bonus at Christmas.

£20 an hour sounds a lot for semiskilled labour, but a self employed person using their own car and products is realistically going to have to charge £20 an hour - they have to cover travel costs, their own holiday and sick leave, income tax, national insurance, pension contribution, liability insurance etc.

£17.50 ph, plus £4.50 ph to the agency that employs her. It’ll go up this month, usually a few weeks before Christmas.

£12 - SW London

£20 per hour. Central Scotland.

She uses our cleaning equipment (vacuum, steam cleaner, cloths) and products. It was really difficult to find someone that could do 2 hours on a Friday morning as most only had room on a Tuesday or Wednesday.

It is what she told me when I asked her rate ! I didn’t think I’d be able to afford a cleaner so I was really pleased

edited to add - she is 19 so actually it’s the correct wage

£16.50ph. SW England

Yes sorry was £15 now £ 17.50 pear hour liverpool

£14/hour in London and she is due a raise in January. I recently cut back from 5 hours per week to 3.5 hours and she rotates rooms each week as DH lost his job in April.

£18 and they (two of them) bring all the stuff with them.

Wage yes, but if she’s self employed she needs to pay NI, tax, insurance and allow for holiday and sick pay.

£14 an hour - east anglia

She charges £10/h but I pay 15/h at least.

£14 an hour in Essex but we also pay 5 weeks leave/ first week of sickness and it's 2 days a week.

I don’t know about any of that I just pay her for the 6 hours each week cash. I don’t ask any other questions (and I ignore the fact that she charges her phone and her daughter’s iPad here and I let her use the tumble dryer) she a good cleaner. I’m planning to give her a cash gift at Xmas too

£25 per hour but she does other random stuff for us too other than clean.

I'm surprised that people think it's okay to pay a self employed cleaner less than the living wage in London, which is £13.83 an hour.

£18 Portsmouth

Is that for 21 and over though ?

Also it’s what was quoted and it’s what I can afford I don’t see why there’s anything wrong in my situation

£15 per hour. We paid £40 for 3 hours last year and £45 for 3 hours this year so it probably should go up again...

London £28 per hour. No materials supplied.

Self employed cleaners charging £10 and £12 per hour (especially in the south east) are very likely to be working in the black economy as those rates are absolutely unrealistic. They'll often not be registered with HMRC, claiming full benefits, have no insurance etc. Folk paying them won't GAF as long as long as they are getting a cheap deal. Then they'll moan about people defrauding the system and costing more on their tax...

You’re partially right I don’t GAF if that’s what my cleaner is doing! The amount that MPs claim on expenses etc etc I won’t begrudge someone earning a bit extra a week to get by and avoid potentially needing to use a food bank or similar and I get a great cleaner that I couldn’t afford otherwise.

17/hr in blocks of 5 hours (relevant only as means her travel cost/time is relatively light compared to the hours she's paid for). My products and equipment. South West.
