What is the salary for Freelance AutoCAD drafting?
Asked by azntwboy
I just finished a 15 hour freelance drafting work on HVAC plans on a small renovation project. This is my first freelance work. Could someone tell me what I should bill the client? What is the hourly salary for this type of work in Chicago, IL? Thanks!

Best Answer:
your rate should have been established before you began the work. San Francisco Bay Area expect to pay $85-$100 per hour. Don't you think $50-$75/hr sounds more reasonable to a client? You should set a price that undercuts the competition but that you can sustain without increasing for several years.

A:
i would say 20 dollars an hour is fair

considering that they are not paying any extras like 401(k) or health insurance, i would charge anywhere from $25-$45 per hour.

A:
Most firms in AZ charge 45 dollars and hour for drafting/ AutoCad drafters. Giving that includes all tax, health insurance and other costs for the worker + profit and overhead. My guess is $20-25 an hour.
