What's a typical day rate in the UK?

I have usually charged per word, and sometimes per hour. I've never found it easy to price my work, so I often let it fluctuate depending on who the client is (i.e., charging less to agencies) and how desperate I am for work.

However, I've recently found myself in situations where new clients have articles that, to me, look like a day's work. Perhaps this is an easier way to charge that transcends variables like AI.

It had me wondering, what is a typical day rate in the UK? I'm in the finance niche, but it's nothing overly technical (mostly blog articles aimed at the layman).
