Freelancers usually charge a daily or hourly rate for their services, which varies considerably according to the market, discipline, level of skills and experience, length of contract and geography. In certain circumstances they may charge a project fee or in the event of a longer, fixed term contract, a pro-rata salary may be applied.
The advantages of using freelance consultants is that they add value to your projects because of their talent, but they don't have the overheads of permanent staff, so allow you to adjust your budget. The rates below are intended to be a guide in line with the current market:
