When I freelanced I would charge extra if I brought my own workstation which was fully loaded with software. I would charge $100 per day for that.

Make sure you specify an 8 or 10 hour day, I have been burned on that one before and make sure you know what happens after those hours.... over time, no over time, weekend rates etc.

Best to get this nailed before you go head first into a project.

I don’t know of any employer who pays for commute time.
even if you ride the google bus i don’t think you paid for the commute.
I could be wrong….

Just charge more for your equipment in your hourly rate.

people are paid by the hour most everywhere I know.

a 10 hour day is standard, but that includes two hours of overtime.

the sky is the limit. charge what you feel you are worth!

Oh and also, do you stipulate a maximum number of hours covered in that day rate?

(10 hours?)

Thanks in advance,
Rachel

Hi list - is there a current day rate survey out there for Day Rates for a Senior Level Designer/Animators?

Also, do you charge more if you need to bring your own software and hardware?

What about for a long/expensive commute?

Thanks,
Rachel
