Depends on your margins & efficiency. I was charging $100/hr & paying $20-$30 (which wasn't a secret to anyone, clients or employees). But it was hard to save because I needed automation I didn't have, and paying for it was not tenable for internal reasons. Eventually I sold my stake for a modest amount and became a software engineer. I decided I wanted to have the option to automate.
