QuestionAm I being ripped off? Pin
Distinctive28-Oct-05 15:03

Hi,

The reason that I am writing this message is that I believe that I am being ripped off.

I have this client who I do a lot of work for, including ASP.net database driven web design, graphic design, printing, computer equipment supplies, and IT maintenance.

This client has 2 retail outlets and an online store.

Back in the beginning when I was new to business I decided that I would charge them AU$35 per hour (approx US$26), today (2 years later) I am still charging the same rate.

Lately I have had trouble getting invoices paid in a decent amount of time, sometimes I will get a pile of 5 or 6 invoices which need paying, meanwhile I am almost out of funds waiting for the money.

I bend over backwards for this client despite now having another major client and a few small jobs. I continue to knock back extra work.

As a result of this I am currently reviewing the rates that my business charges them. Is it possible that some people in a similar situation to me could supply their hourly rates?

I'd especially like to know the rates that Australians are charging, and also I'd love honest answers.

Thanks to anybody who helps me out.
