Base Rates
Translation requires time, care and attention to detail. Depending on the subject matter concerned, it can also involve considerable research. Hence our fees vary according to the complexity and difficulty of each project.
As a guideline, the base rates for our translation services are between 0.18 – 0.40 SGD per source word. In the event that a word count cannot be easily performed on the source document (e.g. handwritten or scanned documents, facsimile, etc), the base rates will be charged on a per-page basis and will range from 50 – 150 SGD per page (A4 sheet).
Surcharges
Surcharges of between 50 – 100% of our base rates may be applied on projects requiring express turnaround or work to be performed over the weekends or public holidays. The following constitute express turnaround for us:
- documents containing more than 500 source words to be delivered in less than 24 hours;
- documents containing more than 2000 source words to be delivered in less than 48 hours; or
- projects requiring our translators to translate more than 1500 words per day
To avoid surcharges, please send us your project in advance. Doing so also helps us arrange our schedule and set aside plenty of time for your translation job.
