There are several ways to look at this. Here are a few:
1: Any amount that can be justified by a good return on investment.
The idea is that if you can save me 100K/yr, I'll pay at least 150K
for that app, regardless if it took you 1 hour or 10 years to write
it.
2: T&M = Time and Materials. Convince a client to pay for your time
(=some decent hourly rate) and materials. Works best for custom
software. You're like an extension to their IT department.
3. KLOC: Kilo lines of code. Outdated, because encourages bloat.
4: What others are charging. If you write a utility or small consumer
app, check with downloads.com or tucows.com. Someone else probably
already wrote a similar app and charges about $59 for the full
version.

Hi,
Try to sell a database.
What's are the going rates.
And is there a stander rate card.
How are databases charged on? by the number of tables, forms, hours of work.
Can someone recommend a book or software for this.
I was searching all over the place for something.
Thank you
John
