baseline for freelance work is take your current (previous) salary and div by 1000 . 50K a year before? $50 an hour freelance.In reality you need more, but its a good "minimum" .
It actually may be more accurate to look at total comp: $50k a year + $12k in health benefits + $3k in equip + $4k in vacation + $1k in retirement benefits ~= $70/hr.

- sarciszewski 12y agoPlease don't base your freelance rate off your salary. You'll grossly undercut yourself. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7850335 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7850335 A per-day rate equivalent to $100..200 per hour is the cheap side of things. Don't cut yourself too short. Businesses have deeper pockets than most individuals.
