Pricing is a task a lot of designers struggle with. I receive questions on a weekly basis to prove it. As much as I want to, I can’t tell you what you should be charging. The design pricing formula explains why.
(Updated following this comment from James Chartrand.)
No-one knows better than you how much talent you have, and every project specification is different. If your client is asking for a rush-job, they’ll expect to pay a higher rate.
The physical location of my clients doesn’t change what I charge, but it could alter what the client is willing to spend.
Here are some pricing articles to help.
