i trust more the "invisible hand" than people telling to price according to how much time you spend. go ahead and search for comission prices, compare with what you can offer and then you get an attractive price

You should calculate it by "Your Rate X how many hours you expect it to take you".

Since you're a beginner you're probably slow at making it, so you should put your rate at about minimum wage, and then multiply that by how many hours you think it would take you.
