Our Rates
Pricing is ideally negotiated in Euros and all standard contract pricing applies to billable invoices for contractor services only. It is noted that the below rates are standard rates and all contract pricing is negotiable on a per-job specification detailing the use case involved. Do note that standard commercial pricing is revised every October. If you engage us on a contract that crosses the October 1st (annual) revision date, the price we agreed on at the contract outset will apply to contract completion.
Commercial Hourly Rate (exVAT) - Eur65.00
Commercial hourly rates for specific contracts, which are generally based around technical writing, and some commercial services. It can also apply to any overtime (greater than 10.5 hours a day) on a day-rate basis. The minimum contract term subject to availability is just 5 hours.
Commercial Day Rate (exVAT) - Eur520.00

Management Day Rate (exVAT) - Eur600.00
This upper rate is meant for contracts utilizing our leadership, people management and project management skills, which range over a 15-year background. The extra responsibilities and dependencies in utilizing higher profile skillsets are incorporated into this upper-end day rate.
