How Much Do You Get Paid For A Paper Round ?

Paper rounds are mostly worked by school children, as the hours are early and the job is simple. This means that the pay for paper rounds can be pretty low - per hour you are probably only going to earn maybe £2.00. In general though, you will be paid a lump sum depending on the size of the round, this can be anywhere between £4 and £20.The amount you get paid varies massively on the size of your paper round and the different newspapers you deliver. Traditionally the Sunday newspapers pay the least.

The speed at which you can do the paper round alters the profitability of the round, many children use a bicycle so that they can reach as many houses in a short space of time. This technique has limitations as you can carry far fewer newspapers on a bicycle and if you have to deliver to many houses which are close together, you may find you do not use the bicycle often.

The geography of the area also has a big impact on a paper round, the ideal route is on a street with houses close together, hills make a paper round much more tiring and houses which are spread out with long drives can increase the distance travelled greatly.

There are many advantages to having a paper round, it gives you extra money to spend on anything you like. A paper round usually takes place in the morning before school, meaning that it doesn’t interfere with your social life too much. Most importantly however, it gets children used to working and a work effort and may help you getting your first full-time job.

There isn't a fixed price!! There are many different newsagents willing to pay what they wish, so the prices varies a lot!! My friend earns around £20 a week, but then again my sister earns about £40 a week and during Christmas time it can get up to £70!!!!! With people giving her tips and her having extra leaflets to sort out. The money quickly rises!

It can also depend whereabouts you live in the country. If you live in the South East, then you are likely to earn more than in the Midlands or the North of England.

You get about £20 a week where I live which is in the north west of england, that is just a short round bout 15-20 houses :)

I get £20 a week, since this is my first year and christmas is next week, I havent go any tips yet..... If you want tips during christmas then send a christmas card to each door you deliver to then you may get a lot of tips...

I want to get a paper round, not sure how it works though? Lol
my mate get's £20 a week and we live in the midlands.

I do a paperound and I get around £25 a week, I do 7 days a week, hell btw.. Hoping to give it up soon plus at christmas I get about £120 in tips :D

I'm going to do a paper round and I live in the north of england and you get £20 a week

I live in norwich I do 16 papers a day, 6 days a week and I get 12 pounds a week but at christmas I got 65 pound tips

"you got £20.50 a week so £20.50 X 4 = £82 . So £82 a moth so £20.50 X 360 = £7380 . So £7380 a year
so it will get you some wear in life if you save it and don't send it all  on crap and you will be abel to get what you want / clothes , badges and anything El's ." QUOTED

Don't no I want one I live in england and I am 15 years old but the trouble is my sister had one and she is brainier than me so I would not no were to go but I want to get one so then I can get some thing I want but I ask the same question as you how much do you get paid a day mouth and year

I just started, I have the lowest paying round, the Sunday morning round!
It takes me on average an hour to do it as in total I'm walking about a mile+
I get £5 =]
my friend though does the weekday rounds mon-fri, walks about a quarter of a mile each time and he gets £20
completely varies I guess

I do two paper rounds every day, although it's long I get £95 every week so it's not that bad, this is in Kensington btw...

What the hell, I was doing one where I would deliver nearly 150 papers and had to put the leaflets in myself...and was still only getting about £5-10 a week....

Think I was getting mugged of somewhat

I get £40 a week. I'm from scotland and I deliver to about 30 houses

I am hoping to get a paper round but don't know which newsagents to go to because there lots around my area... Theres one right near me that apparently pays ok but theres also one a bit further away tht I no pays very generously ?

I get £6 a week for a two hour round with 133 papers. Its not great pay but sometimes I cover other rounds and for that you get £7. Its a lot of money compared to the £1 a week I'm used to getting from my parents!

''you got £20.50 a week so £20.50 X 4 = £82 . So £82 a moth so £20.50 X 360 = £7380 . So £7380 a year

you said 20.50 a week, but then you multiplied that by 360, and said that was a year? Wrong, theres 365 days in a year, and you said that was the price per week, so you would multiply 20.50 by 52 which is £1066 pounds a year

I have a paper round I get about 20 to 24 pound a week is good pay and I think for the people that have low pay get a new paper round have a look and you could find a good 1 with the right amount of pay I do mornings and after school sometimes I get home about 6 but thats only if I have to do 2 rounds after school

To get the best deal threaten them and say that the news agents over the road is giving me £5 more than you are you sure you want to only give me a tenner a week or will you rise it to £20 then you can go to the next newsagents and say there giving me £5 more than me this fails with some people ut with others it can get you £40+ a week

You get £20.50 per week

I'm going to get a paper round so I hope it is decent pay. I need money.

I get a low pay too. I just did a round last week. 130 papers approx.. And my paycheck is £13.36. Apparently it depends on the number of adverts included.

Paper rounds are mostly worked by school children, as the hours are early and the job is simple. This means that the pay for paper rounds can be pretty low - per hour you are probably only going to earn maybe £2.00 or less. If you are lucky the newsagent may pay you for doing the whole lot, however long it takes, which might be around £8.00. Of course the rate will vary so it's best to ask before you take the job on.

120 pound a day :) I got 1000 pound xmas tips      I do 100 papers per day

I want to do a paper round once a week, how much do you think I will get? :)
north east england. Posh area... Thanks

You got £20.50 a week so £20.50 X 4 = £82 . So £82 a moth so £20.50 X 360 = £7380 . So £7380 a year
so it will get you some wear in life if you save it and don't send it all  on crap and you will be abel to get what you want / clothes , badges and anything El's .

I don't do a paper round yet but my friend gets paid like average £15 a week depending on how many papers she delivers , usually its about 15 so £1 per paper really
so yeah I want a paper round but I'm on the waiting list at the moment I'm not sure how long that waiting list is ..

Well it all depends on what you do for example I do 2 rounds in the evening every day including sunday and I get £67.50 but I could also do 1 round in morning which would get me £88 a week but you could also just do 1 round every evening which for me is £22 or you could do 1 round every evening and 1 round ever morning which is £44 so obiously it depends where you live but where I am this is what I get so it is up to you but it all pays off XD
