What is a good hourly rate for a freelancer?

Freelance hourly rates vary by skill and experience. Beginner freelancers typically charge $15–$30/hour, mid-level $30–$75/hour, and experienced specialists $75–$200+/hour. Web developers average $50–$100/hour in the US market.

Should I charge per hour or per project as a freelancer?

Project-based pricing is generally better for freelancers because it rewards efficiency, prevents scope creep disputes, and often results in higher total earnings. Use hourly rates for ongoing retainer work or projects with unclear scope.
