    In addition if you don't charge hourly yoru clients will make you do changes until you turn blue. And your real hourly rate could end up being below minimum wage. The reason why I add 25% in the budget proposal, just to cover all costs. If I don't use all hours I don't charge them for it. But clients will always want me to use the extra time to do extra work. Yet in my experience, the hours designated easily are used up...there is never time left over, so the 25% rule works. Also if you don't charge by the hour how do you calculate your administrative work? You gotta charge them for that as well, as well as for client communication etc.
