Reality show rates

I'm trying to put together a budget for a 22 minute reality show I'm doing, and was just wondering what the going rate for a pilot episode would be? I need to do sounddesign, editing, mixing and music. Does anyone have any experience with this, because I'm trying to put together a budget for the client. I'll be working from a quicktime movie and sending a stereo mix back to the client. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

This probably wouldn't be the best place for everyone to start throwing out their best rates on a project they've never seen. Every show has different needs and works within TOTALLY different budgets. Sometimes a 22 min show can be 2 days, sometimes 10. I could see clients using this thread as their "Post Audio Budget Needs", which is not good for our craft. I would suggest putting your email on your profile to be contacted off the forum.

I appologize for ruffling anyone's feathers. It's good to know generally how long something like this will take. If anyone is interested, please email me at
