Freelance Multimedia Rates?

I am curious to see what other multimedia producers charge for freelance work.

Multimedia producers and interactive designers that is
(I group them into the same category since I do both).

As for me, my current freelance rates are:

$1000 USD per day (for up to a 12-hour day) for work that is for-profit,
$500 USD per day (for up to a 12-hour day) for work that is non-profit.

I offer a 6% discount for payments received in-full
within one business day of services rendered.

I am also available for-hire on an hourly basis at:

$100 USD per hour for work that is for-profit,
$50 USD per hour for work that is non-profit.

My rates do not include expenses.

I would like to know how my rates compare to my fellow multimedia creatives out there.

I’ve been told numerous times that my rates are way too low
but I am not exactly sure just how low they are.

I guess a lot of what you can charge depends on your skill-set, talent, and quality of equipment.

I don’t want to underprice the market or anything,
but it does all seem pretty subjective for multimedia.

  2. Is your rate just for production with raw material submitted by the client? What if you also shoot and record the material? What would that rate be. I'm trying to sort out my rates too here in Jamaica.

  3. My rates are for production and/or shooting. Doing both typically takes twice as longer, so you can charge twice as much.

    I think editing usually pays more than shooting nowadays, at least in America, but I charge the same for all my services.

    If you don't get to keep your copyrights, then I would suggest charging at least twice as much than what you normally would if you got to keep your copyrights.

    My rate is currently too low, I plan on raising it as soon as I get better camera and editing equipment.
