Got a freelance gig but I’m new to the freelance world and client is asking for an hourly rate. It’ll be about 20 hours or so and doing design/direction work. What would be a good rate?

Multiply whatever your last yearly salary was by 125% to get an annual freelance rate. Divide that by 260 work days in a year to get a day rate. Then divide that amount by 8 hours to get an hourly rate. Round that number up a bit, maybe pad it by $5-10 more if it still feels low and see what they say. Good luck!

Google had low rates, but a wide range, $28-$100, $45/hr median. And first formula I gave didn't factor in 20 days off for vacation, sick and personal. So, 240 might be a better number to use. That was why I suggested rounding up another $5-10.

Tell us your city / location as that often dictates what you should expect to be paid. (I’m not a designer. Just offering advice)

They said no, and I asked them to send over written offer and I would let them know by Fri. They then email they are no longer offering me the position and repost it the next day:
