How Much to Charge-Freelance/Contracting – Web/UX/Dev/Marketing Any Niche (2026)

2•Yeagerist•1h ago
How much to charge in 2026 amidst the last few years of world economic chaos/politcal impact on the COL, SOL and market crisis/ AI Implosion/changing client demands?

UX - Marketing/Web Design For SMEs but I follow Hacknernews for the Dev guides, the crazy insight from the posts here.

Niche, Hourly rate, experinece, tips, Changes during latest world economic issues, etc and anything else (What tools used, native build/versus tools etc)

In the end, providing a solution to a pain/problem is the key -but some are zealots for code versus no-code tools. Im not here taking sides- Im just curious about the 2026 update with the AI explosion

Entry-medium experience Marketing/UX and No-Code tools ( Tabooooo) - currently learning front end but more focused on UX/Marketing/Solutions fors SMES

Based in Oceania (AUS/NZ market) but looking to do overseas clents as Oceania is limited in business opps.
