Hello, I was wondering how much I could charge to repair computers. I'm 17 years old, but to tell you the truth, I'm pretty good with computers. My uncle taught me. Anyways one of my friends told me he charges $50 an hour. Now if thats true or not I don't know. I'm looking to make money doing what I like. I also have a set up w/ monitor, mouse, keyboard, internet and etc. at my house that I can use to work with. Thanks

every area is different. go to the different computer shops in your area and find out what they charge and go from there.

My school hires the "computer guy" for $50/hour... he sits there on the comp, and doesn't really do much of anything.... Looks like a sweet job. =P
