    want a real answer?

    ok!!

    What I do is first determine the 'realm' of which the project falls.
    Print? Flash? Web design? Web Production? Video? Anal?

    Then I have a set of hourly costs (pending on the length of work).

    If the project is going to be more than 30 hours... I usually create a project total as apposed to going hourly. That way the customer knows the final end-price... and if I can... I'll produce the work in 2/3's the time and make more cash.

    Hourly costs are diff. depending on what you're doing (the items listed above)...

    ... for instance... I may only charge $50/hour for print work if I'm just doing biz cards...

    ... If I'm developing Flash... it's usually over $125+ /hour...

    ... it all depends on what the project is, the disciplines required for the project and the timeframe allowed to complete (if it's a rush job... I add 35% to hourly / project costs just to rape my client a little more).

    :)

    Happy F-lancing!!
