Example of proofreading estimate:
Basic editing of an MS Word document of 5,000 words would be priced as follows:
- 2,000 words @ 8 ¢ = $160.00
- 2,000 words @ 7.5 ¢ = $150.00
- 1,000 words @ 7 ¢ = $70.00
- Total: $380.00
Note: Words are counted using MS Word's word count function. If it is impractical or not possible to count the words in a document (such as large Excel documents or some HTML files), estimates will be based on our analysis of the amount of work needed.
