    First work out your input costs.This is your Transport, Insurances (I presume you have this), phone calls, use of gear (depreciation etc), incidentals etc.

    Next estimate how much time the job will take and what you will expect as an hourly rate. This should include the set up, shooting and post production. Do not forget your tax obligations.

    You will then have a figure which covers your costs. You can then add profit.
