I usually just roll with the formula of: "Whatever you would want your yearly salary to be divided by 1000."

Want $100,000? Charge $100. Want $50k? Charge $50.

In practice, however, I fluctuate around. I have some clients that I charge $20 or $30/hr and some that I charge $50, $75, $100, or $125.

I have since filtered out the $20 & $30/hr clients. I gave them a discount for about a year and told them that any new work after that time would be at a minimum of $50. One of the clients left, the other stayed with me. Those lower tier clients were left overs from when I was first getting into freelancing and just needed to make some money and get some clients.

I'm very tired today, so I apologize if this is kind of rambling and all over the place.
