Hi there,
I am hoping to move in to the world of freelance/associate work, and have no idea about how much per hour/per day/etc.
Obviously, most people don't broadcast their rates so that they can do the sales pitch so can't really do much of a search - Is anyone prepared to say what they get/what the average is?
I appreicate it depends on experience and demand...

Search this forum and you will see the rates/fees I posted a few months ago.
Very much depends upon the industry/your experience and what your client is prepared to pay, type of service you are going to provide.
DSE type stuff = not much £
General construction = £££
Oil/gas = £££££'s
etc
Solicitors charge £180/hr so work out from that....

I think you are coming at this from the wrong direction. While you must have an eye on the 'going rate', you should put together a business plan. Add up all your overheads and how much you want to make in a year then divide by the number of days you hope to work, allowing for holidays, etc.

Hi Andrew,
you need to decide how much (£'s) you need to live and provide for your family etc and then add on a percentage for profit and then decide how you would charge this out and in what time frame eg £25 per hour. I would then look at your prospective skill set and identify your potential customers and see if your costing meets their business profile. If all meets up then you have a chance to charge your rate - oh by the way watch out for undercutting dandy's without the necessary experience and quals
regards stephen
