Paper Round - pay rate these days
advance
Posts: 63 Forumite
What is the average pay for a FREE paper round nowadays.
I had one as a teenager and they paid a penny a paper, (in the late 80's) if there were any leaflets I think I got a pound for all the leaflets in my round which was 178 houses but if I had two leaflets it was two pounds etc.

My son does a Sunday round. 14 papers to deliver within a mile and it takes around 20 minutes. He gets £4.
The shop also has a second round with roughly the same figures and that is also £4.
During the holidays he was asked to do a weekday morning round. That was 20 papers within 2 miles encompassing the above two routes (but not all the same houses) and took 40 minutes and he got paid £5 for each round!
I'm thinking about putting my own name down.Emergency savings: £0 saved / £4000 target0
