Charge for a higher target rate Aug 29, 2017

不必客气。虽然你那个项目不需要做了，但此问题具有普遍性，多年来也常有人来这里问。....统计学数据没有绝对精确，只有相对精确，而且还有例外....

按照最终定稿的字数收费确实比较合理。那就不管它什么比例不比例，而是觉得什么价对得起自己就报什么价。


Ysun is right, this is indeed a recurring question and OP here is excellent reminder to us all. Should similar situation arise in the future, OP should also consider charging for a higher target rate - I always do - just to cover the potential 10% loss (give or take) that Mr. Sun has mentioned in this post.

There's no absolute, of course.
