What are your project requirements? Will you need steady and consistent help with the project in the future (in other words: do you need a retainer?).
Answer those questions yourself with some research and that alone will save you a bit of cash when dealing with a freelancer.
That being said, here is an example of what you can expect: (from my personal freelance experience).
man hours run from 75usd to 95usd (in my area, could vary greatly based on where you are located). You pay the first 50% on signing and the rest upon delivery. Retainers vary greatly based on the individual case.
Consults are generally allocated with the project as man hours. (mandatory .5 man hour per call).
Just so you know what you're asking.
