Your Tax-Code is likely to be '1185S'. This means that you can earn £11,850 BEFORE you pay tax. Therefore if in your first year you make a profit off; £29,878, this can be calculated as:
Projected 2nd Year Income On Our Franchise
Teaching 12hr week: X £32p/h = £0384.00 over 48 weeks = £18,432.00
Teaching 16hr week: X £32p/h = £0512.00 over 48 weeks = £24,567.00
Teaching 20hr week: X £32p/h = £0640.00 over 48 weeks = £30,720.00
Teaching 24hr week: X £32p/h = £0768.00 over 48 weeks = £36,864.00
Teaching 32hr week X £32p/h = £1024.00 over 48 weeks = £49,152.00

*Prices vary between regions, however we will always aim for quality, not profit. A CLEAR price will be given to you before you start your Part 3 Training. This may be carried out by an affiliate of Catz-i.com ADiT and always subject to availability.
Services We Provide
The information below is based on facts from 17 years of teaching Driving Instructor Students. The training & learner lesson prices are what Catz-i.com ADiT charge at 03 March 2019.
All tests assume a first time pass.
Once you have had 40 hours of Part 3 training, you may opt for a 'Trainee Licence'. You will need to be sponsored by your trainer and this allows you to receive payment for giving tuition. Without a trainee licence, it is a criminal offence to receive payment of any sort for giving tuition.
The licence is valid for 6 months (26 weeks) and you will be supplied with students on a franchise agreement.
You DO NOT "have to" take a Trainee Licence and you should take careful consideration with this. Larger training organisations encourage you to 'Fast-Track', where after paying £3,800 their only interest is to get you on a Trainee Licence as soon as possible, where RED will supply you with a Mini and a fee of £235 per week on a 12 month contract and if you change your mind, it's only a £5000 penalty fee!
Firstly lets look at what you are likely to spend on training;
Part 1 Course:
Part 1 Test Fee^
Part 2 Training 12 - 18 hours:
Part 2 Test Fee^
Part 3 Training 40 hours:
Trainee Licence^
£0179.99 - £0179.99
£081.000 - £0081.00
£0420.00 - £0630.00
£0111.00 - £0111.00
£1400.00 - £1400.00
£0140.00 - £0140.00
Total Projected Spend: £2331.99 - £2541.99
Decissions
Depending on your circumstances, you are advised not to leave a secure job to pursue a trainee licence. Whilst our pass rate is 94% (DVSA national average pass rate 33%), I have sat in on some Part 3 tests where the candidate has turned to jelly and it has not gone to plan. Regardless of how well you do in training, it's about how you perform on test and 6% (DVSA national fail rate 67%) still don't make it. Trainee licences are always subject to availability in your area and whilst you have a 99% chance to earn back everything you have spent, there is other costs involved, as detailed below.
Expectations
No driving school can fill your diary straight away and you should expect to have a period of building your diary. To my knowledge at time of writing, we are the only franchise that has a teired franchise system, where you pay a base price of £20p/w, followed by increases as you are supplied 5, 10 & 15 students etc. We believe that this is the fairest and since our income is dependent on what we supply you, it's in our interest to keep you busy.
We don't believe in hiding from paying students that you are on a Trainee Licence and as such we charge less to the customer. Our current price of a lesson with an ADI is £30p/h & with a Trainee £27p/h. This is the figure used for the calculations. No guarantees can ever be made, however all figures quotes are based on factual evidence.
Projected ROI On A Trainee Licence
Teaching 12hr week: X £27p/h = £324.00 over 26 weeks = £08,424.00
Teaching 16hr week: X £27p/h = £432.00 over 26 weeks = £11.232.00
Teaching 20hr week: X £27p/h = £540.00 over 26 weeks = £14,040.00
Teaching 24hr week: X £27p/h = £648.00 over 26 weeks = £16,848.00
Teaching 32hr week X £27p/h = £864.00 over 26 weeks = £22,464.00
Teaching 36hr week X £27p/h = £972.00 over 26 weeks = £25,272.00
Projected Income After Qualification
Teaching 12hr week: X £30p/h = £0360.00 over 26 weeks = £09,360.00
Teaching 16hr week: X £30p/h = £0480.00 over 26 weeks = £12,480.00
Teaching 20hr week: X £30p/h = £0600.00 over 26 weeks = £15,600.00
Teaching 24hr week: X £30p/h = £0720.00 over 26 weeks = £18,720.00
Teaching 32hr week X £30p/h = £0960.00 over 26 weeks = £24,960.00
Teaching 36hr week X £30p/h = £1080.00 over 26 weeks = £28,080.00
