Hourly Rate for a US Developer for ROR Development Services

1.    Some developers claim that it’s graduate average around $75,000 per year in their first job. This would equate to $37.50 per hour. A coder with more expertise will probably be nearing $100,000 per year within about five years, but it does depend on skill, exposure, experience and previous education. The general trend is that an in-demand software engineer with five plus years of Ruby on Rails experience can probably charge up to $ 100 per hour for contracting gigs, but a full-time employee is generally going to be looking at more like $50 per hour with good benefits, and the guarantee of steady work.

2.   Some recruiters speak the rate ranging from $30 PER HOUR UP TO $300 PER HOUR. Mostly, the starting salary for Rubyists will be around $35 per hour, but after a few years, $50 per hour is pretty common. People with twenty years of experience will commonly be around $75 to $100 per hour. These are for full time positions.

3.   If you are a consultant, you can expertise to charge about 30% more, but the work is more irregular, and there are often no benefits. Typically, we say that a full-time position is worth about 30% more than the same hourly rate because of the value of the benefits, so insurance, 401k, etc. are important to consider.
4.    Another thing to be aware of is that costs-of-living differ drastically in different areas. A salary of $ 100,000 per year in one place may equate to only $ 30,000 in another. So this should also be considered properly. The normal pay of a RoR developer ranges between $ 12.28 – $ 97.03/hour. The hourly rate also diverges reliant on place, abilities, familiarity, and the company paying you.

5.   When talking in terms of experience and pay, it may go like this:

•    1 year of experience- Paid $ 12 – $ 25 per hour
•    2 – 4 year experience- Paid $ 25 – $ 125 per hour
•    5+ years- Paid $ 125 – $ 300 per hour

The variation depends on your ability, past projects, testing skills, speed & location. If you have good open source contributions, you can charge even higher. As per my opinion, it is completely dependent upon duration of project, complexity and requirements of the client. For long term project Hourly rates will be less and for short term projects it will be more.

Laitkor can start at $12.28/hour for upcoming and new businesses for Ruby on Rails Development and alike.
