What is a fair development rate one can expect or charge a customer for developing new or finish existing projects? This is fixed contract based. Experience = 3 to 4 years in C# & VB.NET, BEng Computer Engineering degree etc.

I don't get how a Car Garage can charge R400 per hour labour to work on your car (the guy is some random dude they got from a backyard) and someone with a degree writing computer programs can only earn R300-R500.
Seems a bit low, how about Java and C++ or is that the same?

Cause they're a company, you're private.
If you go to a development company for a project, they'll charge way more than that for the same work.
he is gonna spend 1 hour on your car.. you are probally gonna spend 172 on thier software ...
300-500ph is the rate i normally charge for development contracts.. for ahoc.. I do its according to client but sometime double or triple that..

Ah yes that makes sense, still serious BS tho.
Do you mind me asking what type of software (and in what programming language etc.)?
I charge a higher rate for joining existing projects: the learning curve is higher because of the existing "code" (trust me, sometimes it doesn't deserve to be called code).
Yeah I know, haven't worked on commercial projects yet but even projects we work on @ University you get messed up code (Some first year projects I looked at the one guy didn't know how to use methods and used a complex, not in a good way, if statement tree to incorporate all decision making
not pretty).
