You havta go with what the going rate is in your area, which isn't that difficult to learn. Then price yourself according to how good of a job you think you do. If you're good, then make sure you're priced at the top of the going rates range.... never underprice yourself.

I only started performing ~ a year ago, mostly senior homes. I learned that the going rate (Cleveland/Akron) was $40 - $75 per hour for a single or duo. I started at $70/hr and going up to $75-80 after the first of the yr with no problem.

Main thing is to decide what you're worth and then stick with it...

BTW, don't disregard the cost of travel. Others on the forum are charging for mileage with little problem.
