How much should I charge for a 1-hour consulting session?
Start with the Three-Tier Rate Card framework. Build three prices: a starter rate (entry option clients can say yes to easily), a standard rate (where you actually want most clients), and an anchor premium rate (frames the standard as reasonable). For a 1-hour consulting session in India, typical bands by experience are ₹1,500/2,500/5,000 (early career), ₹3,000/5,000/10,000 (5+ years), ₹6,000/12,000/25,000 (senior). The anchoring matters more than the absolute number. Try the Rate Card Builder for your specific niche.
