Anyone know average Software / Programming Prices?

[Jei]

Hi guys and gals,

I've been approached by my current employer asking me if i'd be interested in building a Program for them and how much i'd be looking for.

Now i'm not actually working in IT in my current role so what they've approached me about is to be done "outside of work".


The system will basically extract information from TXT files on another computer on a daily basis then organise the data contained in the TXT file and input it into an Access Database.

The whole thing will be running using a VB Front-End and will have a number of fancy queries, reports etc available. The program will then be used on a limited amount of networked machines.


Anyone know what the approx price is I should be looking at charging? I'm more than adequate to do the Job but have never done an entire project by myself, to be charged by myself too.

Really appreciate as much feedback as possible guys,
Ta,
Jay

Work out how long you think it will take you

decide on a day rate

times day rate by number of days

maybe add a couple for contingency

or think about how much money you would want to be arsed to do it.

Then ask for that, if you get it BINGO, if not, then it wasnt worth doing anyway
