How much should I charge for hosting and maintaining a web application with user authentication and potentially large database? /u/Colonel_Carrot CSCQ protests reddit

Hello smart people 🙂 I am almost finished with my first web application project for a client and the next step is deployment and hosting. as it is my first app, I must admit that I undervalued my work and under quoted this project as it was my first.

Here’s some info about the app:
The application is a platform for a small legal firm that works in insurance claims. It includes user authentication/sign up and the user creates claim cases (as many as they want) and for each user they can select a certain calculator that calculates certain payouts/debts based on user inputs. There is a lot of complex calculations involved. The total number of calculators is currently 7 calcs and very likely to increase in the future.

The client is likely to need continuous edits, changes and extra features often considering that it is a work in progress.

– How much should I charge per months with hosting and maintenance included in USD?
– I was thinking to charge a base amount every months and any work that is not maintenance related to be billed hourly .

Also, I’m very curious how much would you have charged to build this application?

Thank you all in advance!
