Original
indexing is charged on a per-page basis. The per-page
rate varies according to publication type (children's, general interest,
scientific, technical, etc.), audience level (beginner, intermediate,
expert), length (short or long publication), composition (mostly text
or a picture book, etc), and the deadline by which the index must
be ready (rush jobs may be billed at a higher rate).
If
major revisions to the copy are made after the original index is written,
then time to make necessary adjustments to the index is billed on
an hourly basis, again according to complexity of
the publication and applicable deadlines.

times that work best for your project.
