My "personal" rule on retainers:
Whatever you change hourly for freelance, estimate 75% of that. Multiply by the number of hours you anticipate per month.
ex:
your current rate: $75/hour
75 x .75 = 56.25your current hours: 20/week
56.25 x 20 = 1125/week
or $4500/monthSavings to them: $1500/month
If you think 75% is too high, go lower, but a good rule of thumb is don't go less than 50% unless they offer you a full time in house position.
There you have it.
