What is a person-day?
The fee for one person's work in one working day (here 8 hours). Total = rate per person-day × number of days.
Are these figures exact?
No, they are estimates. The exact price comes from experts' proposals and varies with the market and skill.
What affects a software developer’s rate the most?
The chosen tech stack, the complexity of the work (simple site vs. a system with payments and integrations), security and testing expectations, and the developer’s seniority.
How is a software project estimated in person-days?
Features are listed one by one, each gets a day estimate and the total is summed, with a buffer for unknowns. A clear scope makes quotes easier to compare.
