Monthly Network Maintenance/Support Charges

Monthly Network Maintenance/Support Charges

I just moved to Greece and may be taking on a small business network. They
currently have:
2 physical servers both running Windows 2008 on ESXi (1 files server, 1
server running a CRM package and separate accounting package both of which
utilise SQL)
15 email accounts (hosted on google apps)
15 work stations running Windows XP, Vista and 7
4 network printers
2 ipads
10 mobile devices (android, iphone and blackberry)
They basically want someone to take on the network
maintenance/backup/troubleshooting and upkeep of their html website. The
website is hosted by a hosting company and is up an running. They just
want someone to make changes from time to time (3-4 times a month).
I already have 4 years hands on experience doing this as an employee in
the UK but never as a contractor. I have checked out everything onsite and
am more than capable of doing it.
My question is, as a freelancer what would be a fair monthly charge for
all this?
Ideally anyone having worked in the Greek market would be very helpful but
answers from UK, US and anywhere would be helpful too! Just to put things
into perspective, if I was to be an employee the minimum gross salary I
would be entitled to would be 645 EUR = 555 GBP = 865 USD(!) Not very
enticing...
Thanks in advance! ;)
