Owners get misled when a blog prints a “typical” rent and calls it a model. Copy the numbers from your own papers, and leave a cell blank when the paper is missing.
The worksheet below is the model. It has no currency amounts, because none were taken from a lease or a statistical release for this draft. Assumptions sit in the box before the table. There is no promise of a return.
Assumptions, stated before any line is used. Occupancy means the figure on the current lease, dated by you. Labour means payroll you already run, not a national average. Energy means the utility bill in front of you. Shrink and upkeep are separate lines so they are not buried inside rent. Nothing here is a New York statutory rate. No statute was opened.
Expected deliverables
| Title promise | What is on this page | How to check |
|---|---|---|
| A cost structure | The four-line table | Each line says where the figure must come from, and the table contains no dollar or pound amount |
| Line | Copy from | Leave blank if |
|---|---|---|
| Occupancy | Current lease, with its date | You are between leases |
| Labour | Your payroll for a stated month | Hours are not recorded |
| Energy | Utility bill for a stated meter | The bill mixes two units |
| Shrink and upkeep | Your count of loss, plus repair invoices | Those records are not kept |
The back-room photograph is an example of shelves and a metal table. It is not a shop’s accounts. The Health and Safety Executive index on slips and trips, opened 14 October 2026, includes a section on what those accidents cost to people and to employers. That page was not converted into a line in the table, because the converted text did not give a figure to copy.
Vendor questions that affect upkeep invoices are in the service checklist. The parent is operations. This is not financial advice and not a forecast.
Method and sources
The worksheet is original to this page. The HSE link is the slips index, accessed 14 October 2026, and it contributes no numeral. Updated October 2026.
