Highest: whatever you can screw out of them.
Lowest: whatever you let them screw you down to.
It's got to be based on your worth, your value to your client. It ought to be the basis of negotiation.

1. W-2 contract employees have different tax obligations than corp-to-corp rates.
2. Customer is willing to pay $X/hour for average developer. Contracting company wants 25-50% of that, so contractor gets .50 to .75 of $X. If Contracting company is subcontracting, each layer takes a piece of the billing rate, and so on.
3. Travel costs are sometimes included in the rates, sometimes not.
4. Skills vary, requirements vary, projects vary.
5. A person with 2 years of ETL doesn't necessarily have 5 years of programming experience. If you don't know who Kimball or Inmon are, couldn't explain an SCD, and don't know what a surrogate key is, than your bill-ability will diminish.
6. Project durations vary.
