I would say it almost never works out this way, more likely you end up doing a lot more work than you originally imagined and thus bringing your hourly way down. There's also a strong incentive for the buyer to manipulate this to their advantage.
The exception would be very small and predictable jobs (tasks?) but for everything else my advice would be to always get paid based on hours actually worked.
