    Honestly there is only one way to work this out — every place and situation is different.

    1 — Work out how much you want to earn from this in a year. 2 — Divide by 240: that's your daily rate. This is assuming that you have no overheads etc (ie that you are doing from home and don't have an office; if you do, add that cost to the first figure). 3 — Break the project down into stages, with milestones every time you'll have to meet the client or present work. 4 — Work out how many days it will take to do the work, with the smallest unit being a half day. 5 — Multiply the amount of days by either 1.5 or 2; it always takes longer than you think. 6 — Multiply total days by your daily rate, add any software costs and a clause for changes and revisions, and you're done.
