Ask HN: How to price yourself?

Philippines Background: I quit college because it was expensive for me. I entered the company with 1 year experience basic programming(C, C#, etc.). They have given me a book ruby "Programming Ruby" and started to work there as a web developer/tech support/call center for 3 years. I was just earning $550/month and as the company and people grow it goes down to $250 due to failed pricing and small clients.

I was still staying there due to clients that used the product. Also the relationship with clients that I have build because we worked on it side by side.

Current Situation: I have exposed my resume online. I wanted to do remote or relocation overseas.

I'd like to ask what is there regular per hour rate of ruby on rails programmer. And how skill is based on the pricing. I was also hoping if $15-$20/ hour.
