Once you have your minimum rate, you can raise it based on your skills, value you provide to clients, and your position in the market. You can (and I would recommend) also then create packages of sessions or hours based on your hourly rate. The greater the number of sessions, the lower your rate (without ever going under your minimum hourly rate.) For a tool to calculate session packages, click on the other tab of this spreadsheet.
