If you go by my job then it works out to about $15 an hour. That's my wage x hours worked per day \ 24. But that's not very useful since there are stituations where i choose to spend my time instead of hire a professional "less".
But personally I value my time differently based on the activity. If I like the activity my time is worth very little but if I hate the activity it can be expensive. I'd rather spend 3 days figuring out how to do something myself than hire a professional because I find the process of learning and DIY to be very fun and fulfilling. But at the same time I'd rather pay to have my house cleaned even though it would be easy and cheaper for me to clean it myself.
If the request is helping a friend in need then my time is free no matter how much I hate the activity.
