What should you quote?
The median of $75/hr equals $600 for 8 billable hours. That conversion is not a separately observed day rate. Account for your non-billable time and costs before choosing a price.
Records added 2022–2026. Dates reflect when records entered the database, including imports; they do not establish when the work was performed. Methodology & limitations
What should a Power BI consulting quote include?
A dashboard-only assignment differs from cleaning source data, building a semantic model and operating a reporting service. Compare the work included before comparing hourly rates.
- Agree which sources are ready, who owns data access and whether cleanup or migration is included.
- Specify the reports, model, refresh requirements, acceptance checks and handover documentation.
- Separate licensing, hosting, ongoing support and new report requests from the delivery fee.
A worked pricing example
Illustrative quote: 8 hours of source review, 20 hours of modeling and report work, and 6 hours of validation and handover total 34 hours. At an example $100/hour, labor is $3,400 before any separately agreed software costs. This is arithmetic, not an observed Power BI project price.
Ask whether a comparison covers report design only or the underlying data engineering too. Historical role records do not establish a standard dashboard price or measure licensing and support obligations.
Source: historical, self-reported community records. Record counts are not unique people, and the sample is not a representative current market survey. Specific project scope and pay versus client billing may be unknown. See the methodology and cohort limitations.
