As a freelancer you have your own overheards (food, electricity, software aquisition and so on) to cover, and that's why freelancers are allowed to charge more. If you're working in-house you don't have those overheads to cover, but the company you're working for does, so your payrate is lower. It's a give and take relationship. You give, they take [/quote] Everyone has to eat :P You shouldnt count food as an overhead =). Its a living expense which is different.. But yeh electricity/software/the cost of your pc farm etc, all needs to be considered. I have a company currently wanting to contract me out to another company doing 3D design work for automated machinery... Its pretty much a 2 day /week job, and I am charging $45 AU for it. Which is pretty reasonable. The company contracting me will be charging the company 60 - 65$/hour so they get a bit of a cut out of it. While earning more would be great i think the rate is reasonable, and earning in 2 days what i used to earn in a week is a good thing. The bad old days... The things to consider that will effect what you can charge are: -Your level of skill -How fast you can apply this level of skill (i.e efficiency) -How saturated is the market? If you are the only person in the country.. name your price... etc. -How urgently that company needs the work done. .H. out Loading...
