I charge $100 per hour to my customers. However I also offer flat rates for certain projects. In the past Robert Half, ManPower, or similar will pay me about $40 an hour I presume that they bill double that maybe more. I know a lot of IT Service companies are all about the "billable hours" but that's just not my ethic.
Three others that I know, one charges $150, another $100 and the other $90. I generally stand alone on this but I always feel awkward charging customers for "research" time. I generally only bill them for half the time. I'm learning something and helping them which I figure is 50/50. This applies when a customer wants me to do something in SMB or etc. that I don't do all that often not to researching problems with Apache, backups, or some generic error for example.
