I can give you a baseline to think about. First think about what the salary for that job would be. Let's make up a number for arguments sake it's 10,000 euros a month (in total). (NB: I know nothing about Salaries in your part of the world) Now, freelancers have to work a lot of hours a week that aren't billable, for various reasons. So - for arguments sake, lets say you can do, on average, 5 hours a day of billable time. Let's also factor in public holidays, your holidays etc - so deduct 2 days a month. Let's assume a month is 4 weeks, so 20 working days available, but minus the 2 so 18. 18d x 5h = 90h/month So to make the equivalent of the salaryman, you need to charge 10,000 / 90 = 111 euro / hour. Obviously you should adjust this to take into consideration any other costs you might have like professional indemnity insurance, accountants fees, business registration... whatever. I hope that helps.
