    Easy. Don't charge hourly. Project rate bro, all the time.

    Unless you're in-house (and you're really being looked at like a temp employee), then that may not work. There's a slew of threads on this subject btw, may be good to search and see what others say there.

    If I were charging hourly, I'd make a note from the start, that you'll be raising your rates by XXX% annually. Your experience and knowledge increases -- so should your rates.

    • A flat project rate is never pretty. The client will milk you. You'll end up spending double the time estimated because they'll ask for a bunch of in-betweeniCanHazQBN
    • stuff as part of the project and still hold you to your flat rate.iCanHazQBN
    • That's why you have contracts that spells out what's included and what's out of scope. If you're having these issues, you're doing it wrong.fyoucher1
