Prices vary region to region. There are ways and means to determine prices and you should not base your prices on what others charge.
You need to take into consideration your annual costs, set up costs, ongoing marketing costs, tools, vehicles, maintenance etc. Work everything out based on a 5 year period.
Once you total your estimated costs over 5 years, divide that total into an annual amount. Then divide that total into a monthly amount. Then divide that total into a daily amount. Then divide that total into an hourly amount (based on an 8 hour day).
Suppose all your calculations indicate that in order to break even in 5 years, you are required to make $240 per day (8 hr period). That means that in order to break even over 5 years, you need to earn at least $30 per hour.
That is the absolute minimum takings you require to break even, after 5 years.
Lets say you want to make a profit of at least that same amount every day (after 5 years). That's $240 per day. You will need to be taking at least $60 per hour to earn that money.
Comprende?
