To get an idea of how much an hourly rate would be, try this very rough estimator. There are a lot of factors involved in hourly embedded and online projects, so this can only give you a rough idea. (Thanks again to Charles Anderson of The-Indexer.com for the codes!)

What is the total number of indexable pages or topic screens in your project?

Please enter "13" if you are thinking of embedding in PageMaker, Word, or RoboHelp.
Enter "14" if you are considering InDesign or Frame.
Enter "15" if you are considering InDesign Structured files or Frame Structured files.
If you are using special macros or coding that will have to be hand-worked, enter "20".   

If your project has full pages that are book-based or book-like, enter "3".
If your project is online help-based, and many topics are one-screen only or less, enter "0".   

Based on the information you have provided, the costs could run
between $ and $

WARNING: This is only a rough estimate. The costs of indexing must be discussed and agreed upon with Wright Information before beginning a project, and are not necessarily based on this calculator. Every project is different, and your mileage may vary.
