Ok, so this survey did not “ask for location or nationality”

But due to variations in global eccomonies location is important because $25 is worth A LOT more in “developing countries” compared to the USA.

So these designers/developers can charge under $25 per hour and still be making decent money. Whether they’re skilled is another matter.

Having said that, after reading the comments it appears the majority of readers (and possibly survey participants) are not from such locations anyway. Although we’ll never be able tell.

100 hr is standard if you have at least 5 years under your belt. You guys are selling yourselves (and everyone else in the field) short. I’m not sure if this blog attracts younger designers, and this is the reason, but it’s really dissapointing to see people charging these low rates.

“Price what you truly think you’re worth from the beginning.”

Ooops,it would appear that I have been over charging everyone.

Thanks so much for posting those survey results. Articles are everywhere telling you what to base your rates on, but it’s so rare to see actual numbers, instead of vague concepts on which to base your own. It’s hugely valuable information!

Hi,
such articles are not oft seen but I find it good to see more and more.
@Marius 25€ are +-35$ so I think you can ask 25€ for your project depending on your skills. I live in europe too :)

I just think you’re lucky you live in US, that’s all.. I’d be really happy if I’d get 30$/h. By the way, I live in central Europe, not in India.
So, I think it’s time to start selling design by internet to Americans.. :)
