    Who's charing $100 or $200 an hour? That's ridiculous..

    No wonder some of you don't have any work..

    for quality work prices people charge are about $75-$85 for production.. everyone I know would laugh at you for $100 an hour..for $200 they would call you a psychiatrist.

    $120-$200 is what agencies charge..

    You need to learn to value yourself but realistically...

    but hey if you can get $200 that's great..just don't lie here about to some poor saps.

    • my $200 was a hooker joke. nobody else said that.
      $100 is totally appropriate.      monNom
    • $100 is on the really high end.. I'd like to see what a person who is charging $100 does..Boz
    • I suggest everyone to not pull prices out of their asses but to read "Business Side of Creativity" for example so you can understand how the prices are formed.Boz
    • you can understand how the prices are formed.Boz
    • 100 is not high at all. unless you steal software and live at home.monNom
    • for a freelancer for $100 per hour you better make magic. It's not at all realistic.. I would like to know how you get to $100 because there's a legitimate way how you come to the hourly rate. Just putting a $100 number out there doesn't say anything.Boz

    • anything. You can charge $500 and then charge 5 hours on a 100 hour project.. People can value themselves out of the reality I suppose.Boz

    • i knew SHITE designers i worked along side of making $90 per hour, and they fuckin sucked
      ********
    • then again this was temp to full (before the full) but sometimes lasting almost a year
      ********
    • it all depends where you live. I do think $200 is bs unless your design director, again temp to full (at temp)

      ********

      ********
    • I don't work with AZ clients.. rarely.. I work with bigger agencies in general in LA, Chicago etc.. and it was slow but it's picking upBoz
    • but it's picking up.Boz
