I would think it would be like figuring out any other project, web, print or other. Start by coming up with what you charge per hour. Then, how many hours per week you think you'll spend on it. From there you can calculate a per month figure. Take that per month figure and double it. That is how much per month to charge.
Remember: Whatever figure you give to your client they are most likely to say that it is too high. So if you start off high you can knock a little off to make everyone happy.
Also, I have found that all projects take twice as long as I think they will take. That's why when I estimate I will double the final time I come up with. It seems to work for me.
Cheers
