I would be billing for accommodation and per diem (food, etc) in most cases, but it would depend on many factors. It really depends on the nature of the work and industry, not to mention country.

Kindly advice on this. Andrea,

This is a great list. I tend to just go with what the market will bear because ultimately, it's not what you want to change but what the market will bear. It also helps to simplify the decision on how much to charge. Andrea, thanks for laying out all the different ways that a consultant can determine their hourly rate. This is a great list.

It's possible that what you are quoting is on the low side. Andrea HI Julian,

This is a large high tech company based in Japan. The task is to develop a business plan and go to market strategy in a very niche area in the semiconductor industry. My think is to charge them $25,000 for the 3 weeks and all expenses for the three weeks in Europe. The task includes technical capabilies, feasibility and needs assessment. My deliverable is a go to market strategy. Is my fee fair? In consulting calls I charge $500/ hour. Any input appreciated. I have an opportunity to do a 3 week consulting job in Europe.

So many consultants keep things secret, its nice to have you detail the different methods. Great info on considering bad debt and the markup upfront. Thanks!
