    What's your level of experience?

    I would ask for at least $65 an hour. If you'll be getting a lot of work out of them, will have little administrative time involved, and can get something long term then you could probably negotiate your price. Keep in mind that you live in an expensive city, you have to purchase healthcare, pay your own taxes, etc. I've read that most freelancers can only bill, on average, 25 hours a week. The rest is eaten up by management/administration.

    • also, you pay for your phone, internet, car, etc.Josev
