Determining pricing range for printing designs

Hi, I'm a designer (considerably a rookie) with 4 years of doing designs for business.

I started with designing web banners in 2007 with just using photoshop, and my payment was laughable as i move solo.

Now I'm comfortable using both photoshop and illustrator.

And in recent years, i joined some small company as their graphic designer for Posters, Banners, Buntings, T-shirts, Book/Novel covers and Business cards. I don't like small company payment for their artist, It's crappy.

As for now I'm moving solo, I seek for some opinion on charging the designs.
These are my inquiries:

- How much should i charge for the deposit before I started to work with the designs? (price range)
- How much should i charge for the final product? (price range)
- Should i charge for any major changes before the final product completed? And how much should i charge?
- Does the price can go higher depends on the due date?*
- What is the price range for the final product + deposit for each these prints?
: Posters, Banners, Buntings, T-shirts, Book/Novel covers and Business cards. (standard printing size)
- Should the price range be higher depends on the sizes?
- Can you give some tips and tricks in naming the price.

- After getting necessary info for the designs, (company logo, theme/choices of color, date, event name, etc.) should the deposit be paid by hand or through bank account?
In my opinion, the deposit should be paid by hand, and the final payment should be through bank account money transfers. But if you have better suggestion, can you share?

* Means the nonsense (i find it somewhat abusive) changes from client's higher ups while the due date coming nearer.

p/s: I started moving solo last year, but always got late payment. And I also think my pricing range is too low. And I read this topic, https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/54828, it was a direct headshot to me. Lol! And I hope i don't make the same mistake again.

EDIT:PM me if you think if it is not proper to talk about it publicly. Thanks. Really need some advice from pro/senior freelancer GFX designer.
