Hello all,
I’m a relatively young software developer, but I have been in the industry for about 3-4 years and have started my own company for doing contract-based software development on the side.
I have a client that wants me to develop an inventory management system for them that will integrate with databases, azure services, and various other reporting systems. So not a terribly complex project. I have been told by the owner of this company that the project scale will continuously increase, so I’ve decided that hourly would be the best way to bill along with a charge for their database/domain/etc., but the hard part is deciding what should I charge? From research I’ve gathered on my own it seems like $60/hr would be fair, but I’d just like some second opinions.
For reference, I live in SC and currently make just shy of $100k after bonuses and I’ve been promised a 30% raise this year by my boss and mentor who has been a great friend and I trust his word. Historically I am a very fast and efficient programmer, and I’d like to make sure I don’t do an injustice to myself by charging too low per hour to account for my working speed. Thanks in advance everyone!
