I just finished a 15 hour freelance drafting work on HVAC plans on a small renovation project. This is my first freelance work. Could someone tell me what I should bill the client?
What is the hourly salary for this type of work in Chicago, IL?
Thanks!

    your rate should have been established before you began the work.
    San Francisco Bay Area expect to pay $85-$100 per hour.
    Don’t you think $50-$75/hr sounds more reasonable to a client?
    You should set a price that undercuts the competition but that you can sustain without increasing for several years.

    In Chicago, I’d ask for at least $50-$100 an hour or you won’t be respected.

    considering that they are not paying any extras like 401(k) or health insurance, i would charge anywhere from $25-$45 per hour.

    $26 an hour, 40-50k a year

    I would bill either $50 or $60 an hour.

    I used to do the same but not In Chicago.

  9. jcrichton33 Says:

    Most firms in AZ charge 45 dollars and hour for drafting/ AutoCad drafters. Giving that includes all tax, health insurance and other costs for the worker + profit and overhead. My guess is $20-25 an hour.
