Rates

Book indexing rates can be quoted by the page, by entry, or by the hour, depending on your preference. The most common billing method is per-page and these rates can vary from $3 - $7 per page depending on a number of factors.

Factors affecting rates include:

  • Type of material (book or journal)
  • Page size and format
  • Density of material (number of index entries per page)
  • Text complexity
  • Intended audience (general public, professional, student)
  • Multiple indexes (subject, name, author cited)
  • Indexable illustrations, tables, appendixes, etc.
  • Rush jobs
  • Changes to text or pagination during index process
  • Index delivery options (electronic, hard copy)
