Recommended rate

ANZSI recommends that the minimum rate for competent indexer* is A$65 per hour. The rate does not include GST.

The recommended rate for book indexing in New Zealand is NZ$65.00 (excluding GST).

*A competent indexer is one, not necessarily Registered, who can do a reasonably good job of indexing materials put before them. They are most likely to have completed a number of indexes. A competent indexer should also be aware of their limitations, and know when to reject a commission because it is outside of their level of expertise or knowledge.

The rate was set by ANZSI Council in April 2010 and will be reviewed in 2012.
