    Hi guys!

    I need to know how much I can charge for a simple job, in this case I need to make a model exporter that works in runtime (need to export model geometry + bones + textures).

    I have everything ready, the issue is that I do not know how much someone could charge for doing this work.

    I would greatly appreciate your help, thank you.

    We have different definitions of simple...

    The general rule is to estimate how many hours the job will take. Then multiply that by the hourly rate an employee would get to do the job. Then double it to cover your freelancer overheads.

    Once you have regular business going, increase your prices until the amount of work balances the amount of time you are willing to spend working.
