Hi there,

If you want to earn $50,000 per year after deducting taxes, social security contributions, operating costs etc. and do not know how to go about setting prices, you should take classes in cost calculation - there is no way around it if you are self-employed.

There are enough examples on the web is you search for it. Any line of business will tell you how you need to go about, e.g.

Best regards,

and assuming that you read Spanish, I would suggest taking a look into:

and downloading the free rate calculator (CalPro) they offer.
