# Consulting Charges

For consulting I have a variable hourly rate. 

| Description | Cost per hour |
| -------- | -------- | 
| Support    | $100 | 
| Development < 1 week    | $120 | 
| Development > 1 week    | $150 | 
| Development / Support out of hours    | $200 | 

The cost a base rate which is $100 per hour plus a surcharge which reflects the level of responsibility involved. 

## Work Time Estimates

When I provide a quote I often provide time range estimates for example, an item may look like this:

- Enable push notifications: 1 - 2 hours

That means that for this work I would charge a minimum of 1 hour and a maximum of 2 hours. 

If the work took 1.5 hours I would charge for 1.5 hours. If it took 3 hours I charge for 2 hours etc...
