Bill rate ranges based on experience

by Dale Davidson

Here's a rough bill rate estimate based on your experience level.

Obviously, depending on what you do and the particulars of your contract, this could change dramatically, but I just want to give you sense of what I've seen.

  • Junior (0-4 years experience): $75 - $100/hour
  • Experienced (4-8 years experience) : $100 - $140/hour
  • Very Experienced/Expert (8-15 years experience): $140 - $180 / hour
  • Subject Matter Expert (15+ years of specialized experience): $180 - $225 / hours

While you should do more in-depth rate research, this should at least help you get close to what you should be charging for your work based on your experience.
