I myself, charge about $1.00 a minute. lowing the rates for many different reasons such as location, how far away the closest customer is, weekly cuts.
I usually add $10.00 a cut for biweekly cuts. $35.00 a week would be $45.00 every two weeks. Seems to be working ok for me.

I Charge What I Feel Like Charging. I Just Go With My Gut Feeling. Such As The Job Is Going To Take Me This Long I Have To Spend This Much For Material And I Want To Make This For The Job. That Is How I Do. Just My .02.
