I'm in ontario as well and I charge 35 a day. I do not charge for stats or any time I take off. I allow clients 1 week off without paying and they pay in full for any further vacation in order to hold the space. I am not at the low end of my area. I began at 30 almost 2 years ago and man how things have changed. When I bring in newbies going forward I'm raising my rates to 40 a day.

If you charge too little you are not valuing yourself. And you don't look like a proper environment for good clients.
