    There are 24 hours in a day. Charge them for 24 hours.

    day rate means even if it takes 5 minutes you charge for the whole day.

    Day: you could spend 6 hours doing nothing but eating, pooping and masturbating and still
    make them pay you moniez for it.

    Hourly: less time doing above.

    Simple formula for coming up with a number:
    Annual Overhead: rent, utilities, insurance, equip, transport, supplies, taxes, misc business expenses
    PLUS
    Reasonable Annual salary
    DIVIDE BY
    230
    PLUS
    Reasonable Profit margin 10–15%
    EQUALS
    Day rate

    So, $24,000 annual overhead, plus $40,000 annual salary is $64,000. Divide that by 230 and get $278, add 10% profit of $27, that gives you $305/per diem.

    Clients that require hand holding get day rates. Ones that trust their mechanic get the hourly fix.
