What should I charge?

[caguy]

I used to get $25 for washing the deck of 40' boats...in the late 70's.

Was that daily or hourly? $25 in 1970 is worth $150.72 now. I need a raise.

Inflation calculator, check it out gas in 1967 when I got my first car was $.29 and is now worth $2.03. Gas at Costco today is $3.43. (California) Except for my truck gas mileage has quadrupled.

$25 was per boat, not time based. Not everything is done by the hour.

Our local dude charges $2/foot for deck and $3/foot for hull
