Not sure if relevant, as I'm in Denmark and I don't know where you are located. But I charge $100/hour plus VAT and that is pretty much the standard rate here in Denmark for freelance work.
I'm a .NET developer doing only backend work and I am currently working for a client 40 hours/week at $100/hour. Pretty much same as a regular employee except I'm self employed and my paycheck is 2-3 times that of a regular employee.
Regular work is not hard to get, I used an agency to get me this client, so they add a percentage on top of my rate when they charge the client, but if you have a good network of acquaintances, you can get work that way.

I'm a novice also in DK. Can you tell me how that translates to a "normal" salary after all the expenses etc?
I mean for example, how much would you get in corresponding salary with $100 / hour (600 DKK) after tax?
What was your rate, if you don't mind me asking? About how many hours/month were you able to book?
I'm asking because high rates are great if you can get regular work...
