How much should I charge for <blank>?

[nocrapchurch]

One of the most asked questions in the Boardroom is "How much do I charge for <fill in blank here>?". It could be websites, Flash intros, hourly rates, etc. If you are thinking of posting this question or have posted this question, read the following:

Website Pricing... How Much Should I Charge?
How much does a website cost?

The quick answer
The quick answer is simple. Charge what you're worth. If you don't know what you're worth, use this equation:

Take the amount of time you would spend on whatever project and think of how much money would make you feel good about spending that much time on the project. Then charge that much.

If you are looking for some sort of mechanism to calculate a website project, there is no "industry standard". Although, Template Kit does have some.

If you're thread was closed
If you're thread was closed, you were probably directed to this thread. Also, some of the Flash Kit members may have been a little sarcastic or even rude with you about your question. Don't feel bad or get upset. Everyone has asked this question and keeps asking this question to the point that the Boardroom has become nothing more than the "How much should I charge?" section of Flash Kit. That's why we're now closing all pricing questions and directing them to this thread.
