I cant find the correct placement in the forums for this thread so if it needs to be moved please do so but the general question I have is: As far as the IT departments go, what is everyone's going rate per hour or per machine? Is there overtime involved and if so what is the going rate for this as well?

If anyone can help with this or knows anything about IT rates that are fair please help shed some light on the situation.


Thanks in advance!
 
Small IT services company.

We charge 110/hour for web design or in shop work

We charge 135/hour for any onsite work, or for any work where we have to send a tech out.

Freelance really depends on who its for and what I'm doing, anywhere from 25-100$/hour.
 
Yeah we are in the middle of negotiations and we just lost our OT out of the blue which i think was very odd, our rates as a small company are fairly low i think, our sell rate is 61 regular time (8-5) and 91 overtime (5:01PM-7:59AM) do those rates seem fair?

I heard through the grape vine that ACS charges 60$ per machine... not per hr... and we are no where near that rate, if we are to do IT work or relocation we normally get 3-5 machines done per hours... which is a much better rate, I think... but i could be out of place.
 
You know, a lot depends on where you live. Rates in New York City or San Francisco are gonna be much higher than in Omaha.
 
Somerset Ky, 2-man local shop.

In-shop: $20 diag, fee waived if we do repair, $40/hr general labor (1/2 hour min), $90 flat for Windows install. $20 flat to install new hardware.

On-Site: $60/hr (1 hr min) in general. Starting to phase on-site out a little at a time, doing only new setups and business support for the most part, some networking as well. Decided to move that direction due to number of calls related to virus and spyware cleanup and length of time that takes to do. We tack on $35 on site fee or $0.40 per mile round trip whichever is higher outside of local area.


We cut a lot of deals on labor here. For instance, virus and spyware scans might take real-world time of 3-6 hours. However, we usually only charge an hour or hour and a half for the work because most of that is just sitting around. We no longer offer overtime hours due to real world issues.
 
in houston it can be 90.00 dollars an hour for desktops 100.00 dollars an hour for laptops. 150 an hour to show up. some charge 100.00 bucks for new pc build....20 or 40 extra to install os.
 
..usually $free.99 an hour

yay for family and friends that I let take advantage of me .. :p
