Windows 2012 hyper-v migration, how much should I charge

Hello All. 

I'm trying to figure out what to charge for a migration project

- Windows 2008 R2 server x 3 into Windows 2012 R2  Hyper-v - production live, that means nights or weekend job. 

steps:

1. move Vm off the server - export for a backup
2. upgrade to windows 2012 R2 - add Nic, team NIC
3. Power on VM, update integrate services
4. Valid all VM still working, no issue (VMs - AD, Exchange 2010, Firewalls), 12 all together

After all done, create replica VM to support failver *(manually)
Test Replica and Extended replica. 

Planning -  ( gather hardware info, Network info, prepare services pack etc)
Migrating each server - 1 days, but moving the data take a long time about 4 to 5 hrs each, because on a 1GB network, (exchange example: 600GB database size)
Replica - storage, create, testing. 

Here is my estimated to bill

Planning - 3 days
Migration - 3 x server ( 4 - 6 days)
Replica - 2 days

I currently charge around $90 in NYC, is that reasonable? 

Thank you all for your input. 

Jimmu
