Certainly not $10-15 an hour, unless you want a long-term headache. My advice would be to look at Chris Shiflett's blog entry from last year:
http://shiflett.org/blog/2007/jan/consulting-rates There was a discussion on the NYPHP mailing list about this, too, which is linked on Shiflett's blog: http://lists.nyphp.org/pipermail/talk/2007-January/020614.html Using Chris's formula of 2.5x hourly wages, and using Indeed.com's average salary statistics (available here - http://www.indeed.com/salary?q1=php+developer&l1=new+york%2C+ny&tm=1 ) then 88000/2000 (50 weeks @ 40 hours) * 2.5 = $110 an hour, and more for a "senior" developer. This is in line with what I've seen in the city as a consultant and developer myself.
