Cost to hire

[RobertSubnet]

Hello all. I could not find a more appropriate forum for this question, so mod please move the topic if necessary.

 

I am wondering, if I were to hire a php developer to add pagination to about a dozen different scripts that I have, about what amount would they charge?

 

Or to put it another way, what would be a fair amount to pay this person to add the pagination?

 

Thanks,

~Robert

PS: Since it will probably be asked: yes, I have tried to do it myself. But I am not able to get it working properly. And due to to confidentiality issues, I am not able to post the scripts. So I am considering contracting someone to do it.

This is how I work, I either charge per project or per day/hour and give an estimated time,

Normally I have to sign a NDA (Non-disclosure agreement)

The cost will variety from project to project, and if I esitmated the project will take 3 days the client can choose to pay for the time spent or a fixed cost the fixed cost will more then 3 days at a day rate..

 

Example:

Est. 3 days work

Options

$250 per day

or

$1250 Set Project

(i'm based in the UK.. but used dollars so rate above a probably missleading)

 

Now if the client choose to take the Set Project price (which is the same as 5 day) and it took me 10 days the client would pay $1250 but if they picked the day rate it would be $2500..

(so its a good idea for me to get a good esitmate)

 

The amount the programmer can charge depends on lots of things,

but the main thing really is how good they are.. (also how busy lol)

 

I know this doesn't help with the (am i being ripped off factor) but as i said i charge depending on the project..

 

An NDA creates a confidential relationship between the parties to protect any type of confidential and proprietary information or a trade secret.

 

Hope this help's a little
