Chege, Depends on client project and budget. I have seen scenarios of up to $60/hour. Skill set and experience counts a lot. You could charge a lot and deliver within a short time, or charge moderate and take your time. Depends on how you want to deal with the client. regards, ᐧ On 24 June 2015 at 16:49, Kennedy Kairu Kariuki <kkairu@gmail.com> wrote:
@Francis, don't be too optimistic but I've heard guys clocking those figures on a project. The issue has always been justifying the man-hours i.e. why 100 and not 80. Most of the time whether you do 8 or 16 does not matter to the client. You can plan time based on 8 but you know you''ll do 16 and deliver before time and spend rest of the month in Malindi.

Does that mean as a freelance developer working just 8 hrs a day for 25 days a month can earn a cool (20 - 25)USD/h * 8hrs * 25 days * Ksh. 98 = 392K - 490K per month?, and if i stretch myself and work 16 hrs a day I can earn almost an million...
Who are the clients pay such? I seem to be looking for work from the wrong clients...

@Muendo,
$35/hour? In Kenyan market? I doubt if that is competitive price

Hi,
From my experience, Budget about $35/hour for the job. As for number of hours, what Ndungi said provides a good platform top operate.
