Can you elaborate then on what you mean by "bottom line"?

Most top companies for whom I've worked and dealt with price out their
designers and developers easily into triple figures; $120 or $125 per

Granted, those individuals may only see half of (if) that in their
paychecks. Perhaps that's what you mean by "bottom line"...
