You're charging a lot more than I would but if you're getting people to pay that, good for you! Me, I'd charge $20/hr with a minimum of 4 hours, so I'd make $80 at least. That would be for a group of 1-4 players, with an added $20 per player after that. (so in your 6 player, 4 hour, scenario $120) - ThreadSky

I like this kind of rate for someone who hasn't charged before that's learning to get into the professional aspect of it. You can find a ton of people charging that kind of rate. Personally, I started at $20/seat and that was fine at the time. Once you get to doing it consistently, though

you'll find yourself needing more money or working it like a full time job at $20/hr outside of prep time. $300-400/table for 4 hours pays the GM at $30-35/hr of work, gas, physical materials, probably dinner for the DM, and a private space. The little bit of profit the company takes pays for ads

and other bits of admin that it takes to keep these kinds of things open for people to get into.

That way it's still affordable for your average table of 4 players and not restricted to those with a ton of disposable income.

$40 for 4 hours is what most people spend going to the bar or eating out with friends. $60 if there's an "experience" involved. People unwilling to spend $40 are probably mixing cocktails at home and hosting a dinner or game night.
