How long is a piece of string? However.... SE USA: Mine varies depending on my employer/customer and the charging method. $300-350 /day or $125 /flight hour, $200 /non-flying day away from base. Plus expenses (usually hotels, meals, transport between airport & hotel), of course.

When I flew one a while back (2006), my salary was £18,000 (GBP) per year. So £1500, which back then was about USD 2200 per month. My contract said 37 hours per week and 28 days holiday (these are standard for the UK).
This basically equals GBP 77 per day, although this was a full time salaried position. The freelancers that the company was employing were paid £100 per day for up to 5 block hours, then £20 per hour thereafter.

Actually your pay should be higher than jet crews for example!
In the PA 31, you are down among the icing and wx, the engines are not as simple to operate, as a jet engine. Engine out, the risks are high. Single crew, so the work load is high. I take it you are doing the job of 3 people? CC including, preflight, duties. etc., etc.
Aviation is really screwed up, is it not? You have ab initio "instructors" trying to pass on their skills when they have very few skills themselves to pass on, as they are just out of flight school for the most part. The instructors should be made up of experienced pilots who have experience, not gained in the classroom, who have nothing to gain from just sitting there clocking hours. At least the military seemed to have recognized this.

I'd like to make your life simple: let's assume that we live in an almost-perfect world where SE/MEP hrs still count something (i.e. USA where 0 to CFI is semi-mandatory before landing a Part 135 or Corporate/Regional job) just to give you something to work on...

Without hijacking the thread, this no other way. unless you go the mil route. I went through the same system, instructing as a first job. That's how I know. The money was bad. I enjoyed instructing but couldn't survive on the money. Actually psychology is also very important when instructing.
