Question What's the going rate for a pro to format an ePub?

I realize that this question may be personal or confidential, and you may not want to divulge your rates, but I am curious as to what the going rate would be for a contractor to produce an ePub eBook.
  • Assume a publishing company wants you to format at least one ePub per day, for each working day, for a certain number of ePubs, say fifty
  • The source is relatively clean HTML but would likely require further cleanup.
  • Stylesheets may or may not be provided and, if present, would also require further cleanup.
  • Some may include a limited number of images, perhaps at chapter headings.
I would be interested to know what the rate, or range of rates, a professional would charge for formatting such ePubs.

*note*

Or, is this question too simple since the books vary in length, some have more complex layouts than others, some may contain images and depending on whether they want the same layout (look & feel) in each ePub.

I could make an anonymous poll of rate ranges if that would be preferable.

If this is inappropriate in the Sigil forum, or should be moved to the ePub forum, please let me know.

Thank you.
