What do translations cost?

Prices
My charge is NOK 490 per standard page (see below), exclusive of VAT. This is also my minimum rate.

I charge NOK 500  (exclusive VAT) per hour for other language services.

For larger projects and agencies, discounts can be negotiated.

 

Worth knowing about costing your translation:
When translating straightforward text, most translators charge per “standard page”.

A standard page is 1800 characters   (including spaces) - equaling about 285    Norwegian words or 300 English words per   page.

Note that most Norwegian texts grow by    about 15% when translated into English.

Most English texts “shrink” by about 15% when translated into Norwegian.

Most translators calculate the price based on the “target language” -  the language you translate a text into.

For work that is not straightforward translation (such as translating powerpoint presentations) translators normally charge a little more.

I do not charge extra for certified translations.

VAT (25%) is chargeable on translation and language editing services, and comes in addition to the cost of the translation itself.

Express delivery can be agreed (surcharge minimum  25%).
