| How Much Can I Earn? |
| |
It is entirely up
to you how much you charge for your services. However, linguists
are usually well paid and customers can expect to pay the going
rate for competent linguists. A very rough guide for linguist rates
is:
|
| UK |
UK £20-70 per hour
for interpreters
UK £40-100 per 1000 words translation
UK £10-20 per hour for tuition. |
| USA |
US $ 30-100 per hour for
interpreters
US $ 70-250 per 1000 words translation
US $ 15-50 per hour for tuition. |
The price you can charge depends on a variety
of factors including your location and your experience. If you have
expertise in a particular field such as e.g. legal or technical
then customers can expect to pay extra for this too
Please note that the higher you appear in the search results screens
the better your job prospects. So if you do not have a lot of experience,
or you have not joined the Featured Linguist's section, then the
best way for you to appear high in the rankings is to have a lower
price than your competitors. If you do this you will appear high
in the searches ordered by price.
