how much does my product cost???

[iboomer]

Hi all,
weird question but i need support!!

since its my first time doing a software program on command, i am a little bit confused about the price i want to post.
it's a small software for a gallerie. gallerie selling desk, tables, ...

using vb.net, program main tasks:
1 - stock in database (insert-update-delete)
2 - filtering the stock items
3 - creating and saving invoice
4 - invoice printing
5 - date intervalle sales report

i looked over the net but i cant get something helpful, hoping someone will
thx

Price is dependant upon so many factors.


Time invested
Copies needed to sell to make a profit
Usefulness to purchaser
Other similar competition software pricing

thx man for the reply.
but in general, a simple program, i want to know how much this can cost.
forget about the time. just one copy for a unique client (on command).
in fact, i already did the program and even installed on his pc, now he asked me how much i want for it (he is my brother friend). so i am looking over the net how much such program can cost .

Always ask for more. Maybe Double, then willing to give a 'discount'

good idea but how much to begin with??

[PeejAvery]

We can't tell you an exact amount. That is up for you to decide since we know very little about what all is included in this program. Nor are we able to test it.

One idea might be for you to post how long it took.

You can then maybe figure out a decent per hour figure and charge that per hour you took to complete the program.

I know contractors can be paid per hour rather than receiving a sallary.
