New year. New rates. I’d like to increase my freelance hourly rate of $100/hour. I’m freelancing with the same company in early 2022….how much is a healthy increase in that rate without it being too much? I feel like I’m bringing more to the table in this new project and want the rate to reflect that in the new contract.

You should probably make sure they like your work. Don’t assume it. You’d be shocked how many companies keep working with people they think the work is just so-so but the rate is good.

A short survey to everyone you work with is a good idea.

The worst they can say is “no” so do yourself a solid and throw out an obscene number to see if they bite. If they do say no then begin the negotiations and mention all you bring to the table until you can agree on a number that you’re happy with. Never sell yourself short, you got this 😊
