being on retainer has ups and downs, some months they will slam you with work and you think geez why did i do it.
Other months they may have nothing for you and its a free pay check.
My opinion is to estimate based on past projects with them, get a fair number together that you can live with, then pad it 10-15%.when you sign a retainer they can call you at a moments notice to do something and you have to jump.
but that just means they love your work and they ttrust you enough to do this.
Otherwise you may want to think of saying the retainer includes X,Y, and Z above and beyond these criteria- it may cost you this much.
either way CONGRATS!
