How much to charge for labor??? Generally, the current charge for re-caning chair seats is $1.25 per hole. Count the number of holes around the entire frame and that's the $ amount that you should charge for labor alone. Add your materials cost to that. $1.25 is a midwestern USA price. Labor charged  in other areas can be much higher.
