A Realistic Weekly Earnings Example in Middlesbrough
- Area: Middlesbrough
- Work pattern: 3 x 90-minute lessons per day, 5 days per week (15 lessons)
- Lesson price: £60 per 90 minutes
- Weekly lesson income: 15 x £60 = £900
- Weekly franchise fee: £52
- Fuel estimate: £50 to £90
- Income after franchise fee and fuel (before tax): £900 minus (£52 plus £50 to £90) = £758 to £798
This example excludes other car costs and tax.
Many people searching for driving instructor jobs in Middlesbrough choose training routes like this to control hours and income locally.
Compared with large national franchises such as AA, RED, Bill Plant, and Pass N Go, weekly franchise fees are usually much higher and contracts are commonly longer.
Even the much smaller schools like English SOM and EasyPass will likely sign you up to a long franchise deal.
Pass N Go charge a percentage of lesson income, and some other large providers operate similar models.
In most cases, this leaves instructors with lower take-home pay than lower-fee, no-percentage franchises like us.
Comparisons are based on publicly available information and typical franchise terms at the time of writing. Always review current contracts and fees before deciding.
