How Much To Charge To Fix 12 Laptops

Gzomartin · 09-19-2009, 11:08 AM

There is is a small business that has 12 laptop Dell 600's and the business contacted me and told me that they want me to do the following:

Clean Inside and outside of all 12 laptops

Install Software which they will provide such as Microsoft Office and Antivirus software

Update everything including:operating system,software,hardware(drivers)

How much should I charge for those services?

I was maybe thinking of about 300$

I am new at charging I since I use to fix them for free any estimate or advice is greatly appreciated

it depends how good you are.

When I build systems for people I charge £50 per hour which is about $100 per hour, when I am doing things like cleaning out temp files etc and doing virus checks I charge £25 per hour.

A friend of mine who lives in tennesee charges double what I do but he is very experienced and is in demand.

If I was doing your job I would charge £250 which is about $500
