    $100 an hour can be a good consulting rate, but whether it's good depends on your experience level, niche, and business overhead. It's a respectable starting-to-mid-market rate for independent consulting, but may be low for specialized or senior consultants. The rate is also affected by the industry, with higher-paying fields like management and finance commanding $150-$300+/hr, and lower-paying fields like HR and nonprofit work trending closer to $75-$125/hr.
