Recently we made one analysis of freelance Excel work hourly rate based on statistical data on websites freelancer.com and upwork.com. We made one simple data Table and tried to see how freelancers usually charge their work on freelance websites.
Freelance Excel work hourly rate is in the range from $5 to $50 on major freelance websites. Excel work hourly rate depends on Excel job type, industry, and country of investor and freelancer.
Excel job type can be related to data and data entry, features engineering, data preprocessing and in that case, freelance Excel work hourly rate is from $5 till $25. If you have VBA programming, coding, macro creating than freelance Excel work hourly rate is from $10 till $50.
The industry has an impact on a freelance hourly rate. The banking industry and machine learning industry have the biggest hourly rate from $20 to $50. Employers from this industry usually pay higher rates.
Freelancers from the USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, West Europe have higher hourly rates (even 50% to 200%) because of a higher standard of living in their countries. This is usually the opportunity for other freelancers to offer lower rates. However, employers from richer countries have just 15% higher rates when we compare employers from the poorest countries.
Major freelance websites have more than 80% of all active freelancers from the “poorest countries” because richer countries freelancers avoid low rate competitions.
