I can, my base rate is $75/hr and when working on hacked sites since I'm taking a risk I charge $150/hr. Others vary and it truly depends on a number of factors including location/experience/history(portfolio or similar) and I've seen some fantastic coders who work for under $25 some so low as $10-$15/hr although that's usually from folks located overseas and NO, just because someone does not speak perfect English does not mean that they do not understand code (php/html etc) I've been privileged to work with many who I could tell by their work was on par (how they coded was great, unlike other horse hockey I've seen) despite the language barrier.

I know a few more skilled than myself who charge less, differences-a-plenty though so can't truly compare its best to do research and pick the programmer who suites your needs and your budget.
