Automotive Apprentice
ROI Calculator

Use the slider to select the age of your potential apprentice at start. The calculator assumes the apprentice becomes the age around the time of starting. Once the age is selected the appropriate national apprentice wage is applied. Use different ages in combination with the other inputs to see how the ROI calculation changes.

Use the slider to select the % productivity you might expect of a new apprentice compared to a newly qualified apprentice. It is quite possible the new apprentice may have some experience, such as wheel changing or basic tasks, which could enable you to charge them out to customers immediately. Use different % productivities at start in combination with the other inputs to see how the ROI calculation changes.

Use the slider to select the monthly bonus as a % of the basic national apprentice wage you might expect to pay the apprentice throughout their apprenticeship based on good progress. This might be based on the apprentice coming with existing experience or developing well in the work environment. Use different % bonus in combination with the other inputs to see how the ROI calculation changes.

'Use the slider to select the number of hours per month you would expect a newly qualified technician to be selling at the end of their 'improver year' in your workshop. You could be guided by the number of monthly sold hours your average technician is producing at the moment. Use different sold hours in combination with the other inputs to see how the ROI calculation changes.

Use the slider to select your typical hourly charge-out rate. We have provided a wide range from a low rate for an independent garage to dealerships. Some prestige brands may well exceed £150 per hour, but we are focussing on the vast majority of garages which would fall under £100 per hour.
