Creating excel files how much to charge

[sbonviccini]

Hello,

I am inquiring about how much I should charge for spread sheet creation and development? I was thinking by the hour. I truly just dont know what to charge. Most of the work I have done for work or projects at work. I have been free lancing on networking, system and Os Solutions, as well as access, excel, and pp. So can anyone give me help.

Hi

You charge an houly rate, and enough to make a living and NOT more than your competitors...

And make SURE you have business/public liability Insurance ..otherwise you make a mistake, someone sues you... and you lose your house/business etc..



All the best Brett

how good ARE you. Do you really know excel inside and out and can make a pivot table, simulation or trend analysis; or are you really just doing basic spreadsheet work ( D3=D1+D2))

$100/hour for any specialist labor is a good starting point- even your mechanics and geeks at bestbuy or even a sports lesson will charge around this too.

But you may want to consider if this is part of a bigger opportunity to get hired back later, you may want to adjust your price, or show the return on their investment.
