There is no rate, we are in recession, you need to work out what you need to earn a week, divide that by 40 hours and times that hourly rate by 110%, that will cover costs of your van, insurances, scheme costs etc, if you don't win much work cut the rate to 100%, if your still not winning work then 90%, but you will need to work out your cut off rate, the minimum you need to charge to break even, and it all depends on whether you want the Job or not and what your wage demands are, nothing else to add, I hope thats understandable.

I agree that rates should be raised but you know as well as I do if the rates in your area were, for arguments sake say, £50 per hour then someone would come along and charge 45, then 40 and before you knew where you were you'd be competing for work at JIB rates. No comedy mate, fact and that's why I'm not prepared to discuss my rates with people I don't know. Don't know about where you are but this area is saturated with 5wws and their main weapon is price (and a fanatical devotion to the pope) ( someone unfamiliar with Monty Python won't get that last bit)
