I'm mostly retired for the last 4 years but I'm still a telecommuting independent contractor and I charge $100 an hour with a four hour minimum. I've also been known to work for free on interesting and worthy (non-profit) projects.
I usually get paid for coding JavaScript/HTML/CSS and whatever Perl happens to be gluing it all together. Typically, I'll administer and secure the server(s) and be on call for emergencies. A lot of times I work with smaller shops where I "get " to play at DBA and whatever else they don't know how to do.
Now, I'm not a greedy man and I would be happy at $50 or even $25 an hour but I found two things happened when I went to $100/hr: more people hired me and I only got serious customers. Life has been much more pleasant since then.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
