How much should I charge for translation services?

26 December 2022 By papmall®

The most typical way of pricing translation services in the industry is by charging by word. In the United States, freelance translation service costs in 2022 range from $0.09 to $0.40 per word. Pricing is different based on things like language pairing, volume, turnaround, and subject content. 

There are also other ways for businesses to pay their Freelance Translators, they may not be common but you can use them as a reference:

  • Translation Rates Per Hour (Less Common): Ideal for Time-Based Assignments: The hourly wage for translation is also used for various tasks, including desktop publishing (DTP) work and interpretation (sometimes known as "oral translation"). In the United States, hourly prices for translators will range from $30 to $70 in 2022, depending on the number of languages involved, the volume, the turnaround, and the subject matter.
  • Translation Rates Per Page (Rarely Used): Although it's uncommon, some translation service providers base their prices on the volume of pages in a document. Calculating the cost of translation per page can be challenging because a page's word count might vary greatly. Depending on the language pair, subject, turnaround, and file type, per-page costs in the US in 2022 range from $30 to $100. (MS Word, PDF, InDesign, etc.) Such fees are used for some uncommon sorts of translations, such as sworn translations in Brazil.
