If you're acting as a sub-contractor, wondering what the main contracting party is making is only going to cause you grief. I've seen a lot of people end-up quite bitter because they think that they're getting exploited.

Instead, just look at what you'd want your hourly rate to be if you were a free-lancer. I have a rate that I charge myself out at when I take on a project - whether it's for the end customer or another supplier. I'm happy with that rate, and won't go below it. If I'm sub-contracting to someone else and they make a fortune ... good on them - I've been paid what I asked for
