I know I should've been doing this all along, but I've never raised my rates in the 11 years I've been in business. It's definitely time, but I'm not sure what is a reasonable increase? I googled "inflation rates" and found this:

http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/

It says that the cumulative rate of inflation from 2003 to 2014 is 29.3%!!! Obviously I'm not going to hit my families with a nearly 30% increase, but I don't know what is reasonable. I've done some poking around, and other providers in my area are charging 20-25% more than I am, so I don't know that they'd be totally shocked. Advice please?
