You need someone to do a job. What’s one of the first things you ask?
“How much will it cost?”
Whether you’re getting your kitchen replastered; replacing your boiler; installing new windows; or fitting a new front door – cost is always a primary factor.
Hiring a freelance copywriter is no different. Everyone wants to know how much it will cost.
Many freelance writers choose not to display their fees online and will only quote after a consultation.
But this can be off-putting for those who are looking for a ballpark figure or don’t have time to wait around.
So, how much does the average UK copywriter charge?
According to a 2020 survey by ProCopywriters*, the average day rate for a copywriter is £379. Based on an eight-hour working day, this equates to just over £47 per hour.
As this is an average figure, this means that some copywriters will charge far more than this, while others will charge a lot less. Rates tend to vary according to experience, specialism, and location.
