a programmer friend of mine, who does mostly backend, database stuff charges $65/hr (if the SF Bay Area). he's a total pro.
i, on the other hand, charge in the area of $20-30/hr. but i'm self-taught and have no real certification or training... but i do great work.
basically, if you aren't doing this stuff regularly, switch the viewpoint (ie. imagine you needed the work done and someone else did the work for you...) and ask yourself what YOU would think is a fair and reasonable price for compensation...
keep in mind, even if it's a low number, that may aid in getting you referrals or return business.
