TER General Board

As I thought.....

As I thought....providing your own transportation means you don't have to pay a driver. And you are right, an agency that does strictly outcall has far less in expenses (I would think) than one that has to maintain a physical presence, and all the asociated expense (including whatever it takes to make sure LE doesn't pay an unwelcome visit).

Thus, your 62% cut is a bit more generous than what I had described...

BTW....the middle of nowhere is SUCH a large place...care to give us a little tiny clue?  :-)

I was just wondering how much the average girl keeps out of a provider fee of say, $200/hr? Perhaps a provider can give me a general idea? The area is Cleveland, OH if location has anything to do with it.

Thanks!

Based on the VERY little I know....

I have formed an aquitance with a woman here in NYC who owns an agency. I was STUNNED by how little the girls keep...

It is about half the fee...the driver gets $20 - 30, the agency get the rest. $100 to the girl, $20 to the driver, $80 to the agency.

It could be different at other agencies, or other cities, but that is my .02....

That's pretty accurate. Generally, for a one hour job, the provider gets a $100.00 minimum or 50%, whichever is higher.

However, before you begin to see that as draconian, remember the truly massive expenses that an agency incurs each month.

My agency takes 38% and I get the rest.  I also get to keep any tips I make.  This works for me because they screen potential clients and also provide legal services, should the worst happen.  Because I am a student and really can't afford to be "exposed," I'm more than happy to let them keep 38% to do the legwork.  Hope everyone's well.  Love, Anne

Do you provide you own transportation? Are you stricly either incall or outcall?

You didn't mention a driver, so I presume you are incall only.

I am just curious...

Re: Tips...I didn't mention that in my post because I assumed it was known that the girl keeps the tips...

I provide my own transportation and I don't have a driver.  Mind you, I do drive all over hither and yon, as I live in a very rural area, and often put 250 miles per night on my car, so transportation really is an expense.  Part of this is because the city I work out of is over an hour from where I live (this is okay by me). I only do outcall, as I can _just_imagine_ my 80 year-old neighbor's reaction to incall.

What else?  Yes, I get to keep my tips, and sometimes the tips are fantastic.  I don't charge for "extras", so the tips are just appreciation, etc.

BTW, I just can't imagine that my agency has that much of an overhead.  I've seen the office and it's a big nothing.  Of course, they are running a bigger risk with LE than I am, and as I said, I appreciate the safety that they provide me.

Well, any of yall who ever come visit the middle of nowehere, be sure to give me a call! Anne

Hiya, MLAM--
I live in the Southern Appalachians, but as I'm a transplanted Yankee, I haven't the charming accent.  Folks around here tell me that I may be a Yankee, but I'm not a "damn Yankee," because I'm not from New York. LOL.  I do travel around a bit, to academic conferences and suchlike.  I've never mixed my...ummmm...avocation with my current vocation before, but could probably do so.  I hope you have a great day.  As for me, I'll be grading papers (ugh).  *kisses*  Anne
