What can I charge for a booking?

There is no fixed rate, and that is exactly what makes it hard when you start. Here is how to pick a figure you will be comfortable with.

Look at what others charge first

It is the easiest method and nobody uses it. Every city page shows the live range — look at Antwerp, Ghent, or simply your own municipality. You see immediately what is normal where you work.

What pushes your rate up or down

• How long. Half an hour is almost never half the price of an hour — preparation, showering and tidying take the same time whatever the booking length.
• You to them, or them to you. Escort usually sits above private hosting, because of the travel.
• Where you work. Larger cities sit higher than smaller municipalities.
• What you offer. Anything that takes more time or preparation can cost more.

Do not go below the market

The temptation when starting is obvious: cheaper than the rest, and they will come. In practice it works against you. A low rate attracts precisely the people who haggle most, cancel most often and respect what was agreed least. And raising your rate later is hard — that is when you lose the clients you built up.

Prefer to play it safe? Sit at the lower end of your city's range, not below it, and put the energy into better photos. That demonstrably earns more messages than a lower price.

Do not forget the time around it

Answering messages, screening, keeping your diary, showering and tidying. Do not work out your hourly rate on the booking alone — work it out on the time it takes in total. That is usually one and a half to two times as much.
