A “from” price or typical range helps people decide faster and reduces time-wasting enquiries.

How to price your services as a sole trader

10 October 2026 · 1 min read · getme team

Your rate needs to cover more than your time.

Add up tools, fuel, insurance, phone, software and any licences. Divide by the hours you realistically bill each year (not every hour you work).

As a sole trader, nobody is setting aside tax or super for you. Many people put a fixed percentage of every payment into a separate account.

You must register for GST once your GST turnover is $75,000 or more a year (rules differ for taxi and rideshare). The ATO has the details.

See estimated rates for your city, then position yourself by experience and reliability, not just price.

List what's included, call-out fees and how variations are charged. It prevents disputes and earns better reviews.
