Question about hourly rates.

As remote EU based senior frontend dev (I do android native) how decent is 45usd/hour rate?

This is what a US based company is offering me. Im freelancing currently in a local agency and Im getting same hourly rate locally.

I work under an individual business licence which means I will be paying around 18 percent of taxes.

    For the record, I am a 15+ years of experience all terrain developer (from embedded to graphics to ML to web to systems) and I charge 65 euros per hour. My taxes are certainly higher but it's easy to miscalculate the time you invest in not only securing clients but also doing all the additional paperwork freelancing implies.

    So, I'd say that's a fairly adequate rate, but then, if you are in a limited niche, you might find cheaper competitors unless you can prove distinctively superior results.

    @CoreFusionX Calculating the hourly rate is slippery thing. Sometimes its better to join a fulltime position if it means paid vacations, paid national holidays, insurance, end of the year bonuses and maybe even some stock options and so on. This rate that I told about in the original post is from a US product based company, I have another offer coming in with 70-75usd rate but thats gonna be agency conveyer so wel see what I will decide on.

    In that 45$/h you have to include sick days, holidays and taxes. I think it's ok if you don't have a lot of experience
