Greetings all -

How much do you professionals charge for rush projects.
I'm trying to figure it out for myself but I'd like to know
what the rest of the market looks like so I don't isolate
myself. My rates are probably drastically different then
yours - so how bout in percentage form.

You usually charge 100%, for rush projects do you charge
125%?

Thanks,
Stephen Dean

I charge 50% additional for any work I do whether it be graphic design, copywriting, etc. for a rush status.

This simply means that it puts their project next on my desk. I never ever guarantee a delivery date unless it is really an exceptional circumstance.

If you are planning on a guaranteed delivery date or time make sure and lock-in the scope of the project so the client doesn't change it at the last minute and then expect it to be completed in that same time frame.
