How figured to charge


How much that claim is itself one of the hardest part of freelancing.

Few years I much I work and how we FreelanceSwitch on those topics that will be discussed here, convinced that prices to think being. Today, I thought I know about how to move on the cost of the work write.

The first point of the phone always when determining rates actually will complete the task, how long must The following additional costs, such as web hosting, outsource printing, illustration, etc. Also, how much cost to be doing this should reflect.

Day when I disable it, and then as a component to complete each one takes a new job to estimate the time. To costing for the following tasks to the time that the number I can multiply my hourly rate. I know when the first component I can easily estimate really atomic operations so that the second degree, was destroyed. Allows you to do so without the need to estimate better, but I have experience.

Does not know the basic cost is just about working in my experience now, but can remain in your account, all things considered, To determine if appropriate for the client and then the cost of Some customers have special requirements, pay very slowly, and a little dangerous, a lot of meetings and telephone conversations, or need to do a lot of administrative Please For these customers out I pads often will cover these issues in order to costing. In addition, because of that you can actually take on a lot more work than I should be lucky enough to also I'm not particularly interested in the cost.

If, on the other hand, the easy-to-operate client offers a lot of repetitive tasks frequently perhaps happy is a non-profit, or take my advice on the situation can not afford one, I would love to have a job as part of then I often can reduce the cost is .

So in essence, my 'real' costs and then adjust according to the elements all add to figure out. Of course, you can always required a certain amount of speculation, but whether these factors apply for new customers, is because sometimes you're wrong. Practice, however, you often doubt theoretically offer affordable prices so that I would not be sorry you need to err on the side of caution when the lure of victory would be wrong in a different way.

So my rough practice. What you need to do?
