Rates:

English to Japanese — $0.15 USD per word
Japanese to English — $0.08 USD per character

Why are the rates different?
With a Japanese text, besides the particles, it is impossible to tell without reading the text where one "word" begins and another ends. Therefore, computers cannot count the number of words. The standard formula for estimating how many English words will come out of a given Japanese source text is to divide the total number of Japanese characters by 2.
