The simle answer is, it depends. If one is uncertified, their options are very limited, due to the standards set in the community, the state, and nationally. Should a certified interpreter work in the k-12 educational system, it is roughly $20 hr plus health benefits (differs by district). Standard FreeLance work runs approximately $40-60 per hour, again depending on the situation. There are no health benefits for the standard FL interpreter, so the responsibility falls onto the interpreter, as well as deducting their own taxes. Other standards are a 2hour minimum and a team interpreter/s depending on the situation. Mileage, parking, etc are usually added to the invoice as well. If one decides to go into vrs..video relay interpreting, each company (I.e.: Sorenson, Purple etc) have their own scale and regulations per the FAA.
