jeboy Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 I just want to be the same with the majority, in other forum they suggest this formula: charge = (rate per hour x total estimated hours of development) + 25% of it. what can you say about that.

Sounds fine, play with the percentage on a case by case basis though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardyandkari Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 dont really understand the +25% part...wouldnt you just charge by the hour??? if you are going to mess around like that, just raise your hourly rates by 25%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 25% is mark-up, his profit margin. It comes in useful for when you want to do trade rates etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 25% is mark-up, his profit margin. It comes in useful for when you want to do trade rates etc. so what do you say that your rates are when you give an estimate? do you say, "i charge $40 an hour +25%"? or do you just say, "i charge $50 an hour"?

Personally, I never charge by the hour, it's always a per project price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardyandkari Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 ok, i think that i understand...you ask them what they want and then give them a price instead of doing the work and charging by the hour...and the added 25% is a "just in case" extra bit so if it takes longer than expected you arent losing money. right?
