Thats poverty level wages dude. And it is a lot harder to raise your prices later if you establish such a low base.
I get around $50 an hour for programming at my day job, they bill me out at $100 for programming, $150 for system design and higher than that for database design.
When I do quotes I show the price computed at $50 an hour or higher. A client can always work with me and we can arrive at a lower price, but that way they know what kind of discount they are getting and it allows me to not lower the price when I don't want to do the project.
Bottom line is it keeps my base at $50 an hour.
And like I say it is a lot easier to lower your price for an individual project if yur base is established then it is to raise your price overall from a base to is way too low.
