I've got some notes on this sort of thing, but I won't have access to them until tonight...and wouldn't do them justice pulling them from memory. I'll see about pulling these together.
I don't have a fixed rate for everything I do. If something is a lower type of production, I do lower rates. Some jobs that seem like they could be administrative challenges I have marked up. I shy away from doing hourly rates and I do estimates. An estimate is based on what I would like to make hourly multiplied by how many hours I think it will take...then I add in at least 1/3 more hours because there are always unforeseen obstacles. These days I just set a price and say, "This is what it takes to work with me." No hourly if possible.
