Depends on your level - but $800 -$1200. Also recommend opening an LLC- I did mine through Legalzoom.com. Then track mileage and commute fees, memberships to trade websites, biz lunches, health insurance etc. The way the tax laws are now - you get diddly squat in write-offs as an individual but a lot more as a Corp. I use QuickBooks to track everything and consult an accountant frequently. Also get a credit card and biz bank account to keep everything separate

Does your LLC work with the new tax law and when getting paid under a W2?

seems low-ish. but I get it that u might not want to price yourself out. I get approx the same rate but not EP level.

Assuming it’s always billed daily vs hourly?

same. but with OT after I exceed a standard day.

$1,000/10hr day. $600 Half day minimum. Overtime calculated from a base rate of $100/hr

What city?

NYC

Day rate is more typical. $600-$1,200 range really varies depends on agency, digital or broadcast, network or online content etc. Obviously depends too on yrs of experience.

$1,000 day for freelance content producers.

But how long is the day according to you & that rate? 8 hrs standard day, 10 hrs, 12?
