The thread "Day Rate" should give you a good idea if you read it right through.

Thats the $64000000 question.

Practice, trial and error...plenty of error! All depends on your setup, overheads etc. Start by working out how much do you want to take home in your pocket after outlay per day? 100..200 £300.. more??? (greedy) How longs the job gonna take...? I could go on...basically everyone has totally different circumstances so its a difficult question. Experience .

No one ever told me how to price jobs, but you soon know when youve screwed yourself or got it right.

If there was an easy way, maybe everone would be self employed or run a business.

Hate that feeling of "arrrggghh ...what was i thinking!!!!!"

 

But at least no matter how skilled or experienced you are its good to know everyone screws up now and then....apart from those who are in league with the devil.

Don't some of you think it would be a good idea to learn how price before setting up in business?
