I've read, as a general rule, 2x what you'd be earning if you were in a salary position is a good place to start. You can then factor in reputation, demand, etc, and increase or decrease from there.

If it's extremely technical, I've seen 3x as a starting point and somewhere between 4x-5x in strategic positions at C-suite or similar level.

take it with a grain of salt as these are just baseline values. Everyone is going to greatly differ based on location, industry, level of expertise, $$ of value that it may impact. good luck!
