Hey I noticed your post regarding dumpster welding, and I have a question for you. I've been a welder for 12 years and there's a roll-off container Place directly across the street. I went in there to apply and they said they have welding jobs that need done, they have their own tools, but no welder.. They asked me to come by and quote a few containers for them but I'm not sure as to what I would charge since they have all the tools, and I have all the experience. Since it's contract work and they supply all the tools, what would I charge for the hourly labor? Welding in my area pays around 20 an hour. Thank you and sorry if I posted this in the wrong spot. LOL

If its contract work then remember you have to pay all your own taxes
including 100% of your SSI. Not just the "half" an employer takes out
of your paycheck. They just give you a 1099 and its all on you. Don't
forget to cover your wage, extra taxes, and the time you will have to
spend making sure its right or paying your accountant to make sure its
right.

You may also find you want to use some of your own gear anyway. Welding
helmet, gloves, chipping hammer, jacket, cap, etc. Bear in mind that
you may have to replace some of that over the course of a few jobs, and
you will have to replace all of it over time. Add a factor for that in
your bids.

Maybe also add in a small headache factor due to what will probably be
sporadic work or very short jobs. Remember it costs you just as much to
get to work whether you work for ten minutes or ten hours.

After calculating all of that give them a marginally high bid on your
first couple jobs. You can always come down, but its nearly impossible
to go up.
