Graphic designers usually either work for a studio or firm or operate independently from their home or office. In a studio, an entry-level designer can expect to be paid $15-$18/hr, however a graduate with competence and a worthy portfolio can expect to start off with a salary of $45k-$65k per year, which would seem like $25/hr to $36/hr, but in reality designers making decent money usually work more than 40 hrs/week.
Working independently is a totally different story. Freelance or registered business-owning designers need to charge more because they need to pay income taxes on that income. They also need to cover business costs like electricity/equipment costs, paper, ink, insurance, etc. Freelance designers usually charge between $40 and $140 per hour, depending on experience, and quality of work. It also depends on location, type of work, type of client, and convenience of the project.
A typical calculation for a freelancer with 3-4 years of experience,
working from home might include:
$50,000 expected annual design salary, single employee
+$40,000 annual operating costs (rent/equipment/utils/travel/insurance)
=$90,000 business costs
/1,750 (BILLABLE annual hours {36hrs/week x 49 weeks/yr})
=$51.43/hr break-even rate
+30% taxes *DONT FORGET TAXES
=$66.86/hr
+50% profit for growth
=$92.57/hr
TOTALS:
$92.57/hr charge for clients
$25.51/hr goes to designer's pockets

∙ 9y agoA freelance graphic designer has to charge much more hourly than the average graphic designer salary would indicate. You have to pay for insurance, tax and other overhead yourself, therefore there's no way you could run a successful business yourself with the "$20/hour" average graphic designer salary.
Especially with the huge need for graphic designers in todays market, you probably shouldn't price yourself below $50/hour, even as a first-time or freshly out of college designer.

How much does an automotive technician make per hour?
It really depends on what automaker your working for, how much experience you have, and how long you've been in the industry. Obviously if you're working for a highend company(BMW,Mercedes,Ferrari) you can expect to be paid more per hour. And automotive technicians don't get paid by the hour. We get paid per FLAT RATE hour. Which basically means that we get paid by the job. Which could range from 0.2 of an hour for replacing a headlight bulb to 10hours for a transmission overhaul. Then there's a difference between warranty jobs and cash jobs. But I won't get into too much detail. Automotive technicians get paid around $12-$15/hr at entry level. But can make around $18-$26/hr with much more experience. Which means you can expect to make 30,000 to 60,000/year. Though most technicians don't see past 45,000 a year.
