I have been asked to supply an inclusive rate per month for an overseas contract. Things i will need to include are flights / accomadation / management fees and visa !! Visa could be as much as $3800!

Duration is not fixed .... somewhere between 2 - 6 months ...

Seems like i might be setting myself up for a fall.

Any views would be greatly appreciated.

regards

Which country and city etc....?

Think of a number for your 'preferred' monthly rate, multiply it by 6 (assume 6 month contract even if it only turns out to be 2!), double it, then add 75% for living expenses, incidental and visa etc.

Finally, add 25% on to give you room to negotiate.
