            Some one who is a freelancer understnad the purpose well. When you are a freelancer you should know the average income of your employer to suggest a good price and win the project.

              Pricing a job sensibly in relation to competitor and trending prices is perhaps more relative than your employers income.

                Current market prices in the countries of your prospects, current market prices in the offshore locations that many of your prospects outsource from, prices of top competitors in these onshore and offshore locations, the RoI value for your prospects from the results that your services can provide, and the salaries of the decision makers in your prospect companies for service acquisitions whom you're negotiating with are all relevant factors to consider...

                Why are the salaries of the decision makers in your prospect companies relevant?

                Imagine telling for example a CEO or a COO of an established Australian company who earns $3.6M / year that the $15,000 / month telesales and pre / post sales support services of your company can directly result to a 20 to 30% increase in their annual sales margins and a 1,000% reduction in their monthly telesales and pre / post sales support service overheads, something that this person would have a difficult time in doing, even with the resources that his or her company provides. That'd most likely sound absurd for that person, huh? So:

                In that example and depending on the exact needs of the prospect in question, a better pricing structure would be somewhere around $80,000 to $100,000 / month for the telesales and pre / post sales support services of your company and target results of say a 5 to 8% increase in their annual sales margins and a 40% reduction from their monthly telesales and pre / post sales support service overheads...

                That's it for now. Cheers!

                  I'd sooner just figure my value and compromise with what people are willing to pay.

                  If I ever went beyond that rule of thought I'd regard it as overthinking,

              Absolute Bollocks... Another one who doesn't know what they are talking about...
              There is no correlation between what i earn and how much you should charge... It boils down to YOUR skill level, the quality of work you can produce...

              Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

          Thanks for that Wikipedia link, Very insightful! That's why most of my offerings are priced $97-$497.

          Although it's wise to have higher-price offerings for those who can afford them, I think it serves the global community best to also offer lower-priced content. Once you earn the trust of people with free/low-price, then you can move them up the product / service ladder.

          I honestly had no idea how poor most of the world is, even in top-10 countries. just wow.

          not to mention here in the USA, isn't it only less than half of the population is even gainfully employed?

    I think it's almost impossible to answer your question... wages differ from country to country, yes, but they also differ from region to region, city to city, years of employment, experience, and so many other factors!

      Yes, but always there is an average income in a country. The wage of the most people. Not poor and not rich, the average.
