I wrote a couple of blog posts about how much editing cost me. I may have even mentioned it in this thread so forgive me if I'm repeating myself.
Querying editors, I found that for developmental edits was $30-$50/hr. The mean was $35-$40. They all gave me samples and from what they read judged how long it would take and how much it would cost.
Now for copy editing, rates were about $10 cheaper. Generally speaking, copy editing will be cheaper if you use the same editor for both since she's already worked on the manuscript, it should be clean, and it'll go quicker.
If you people really want to know how much it costs, you could ask editors. I found them all friendly and helpful.
