I have a question to essay writers. Assume you are to be assigned a 10-page essay. And you have an option about the deadline:
a) 1 week (100%)
b) 2 weeks
c) 3 weeks
d) 4 weeks
How much would you charge in the above scenarios? Let's assume option a) has 100%. And just put how many less percent (if any less) you would charge if given more time. Something like:
a) 100%, b) 95%, c) 90%, d) 90%
I try to get an idea that if a writer has more time he would charge less or if he would charge the same. Because I heard that for a writer it doesnt' matter if he has more time because he would still start writing 'at the last day/hour he feels comfortable to finish the essay.' And either he can do it or not.
Now when I think about it I (being a student) start doing my homework at the last day I can :). If I had one year to do my homework I would still start doing it a day before it's due (as long as I know I would finish it within a day). Opinions please?

I would say:
a) 100%
b) 95%
c) 95%
d) 95%
That means it doesn't matter to me if I have 2, 3, or 4 additional weeks; I would only charge 5% more if I was allowed 2-4 weeks more.

In my experience, commercial sites usually charge a set price per page based on the due date. My private fees are based more on how difficult the paper will be for me and how long it will take me than on the due date except that I charge more for papers due in 24 hours or less. Beyond that, the extra time doesn't really help me because I usually write everything pretty close to the due date unless it's a particularly long or difficult project.

I have to twist one of my employer's arms to get them to give me more per page for rush orders. they are very tight. the other current one, rush orders are automatically scaled up about 25%.
in terms of ex employers, the one I quit was about the same, scaled up 25%, but sometimes more. one had a base per page rate of $20+, so I never demanded more for rush orders from them, to avoid spooking the goose. unfortunately, they went out of business.
