Depends on your salary and client bill rate
I am pretty sure the amount of work to calculate, monitor and report on individual chargeability targets would not be worth the cost. Plus that's like advertising a persons salary? And usually more salary means the work you are doing is more valuable (because of experience / skills) not more salary means we expect you to do more work. All around this idea makes no sense. If you were a client I would be advising you to set a standard and stick to it.
Then they should set a target rate per resource based on those parameters and not have it standard
