Tianmu is so far, you have to pay a lot.
Hire only certified teachers and pay them NT$800/hour minimum, and give them at least 20 hours a week, and let them actually teach, and have a quality, unique program. :bravo:
Or hire backpackers fresh of the plane with only a BA and no experience and pay them NT$500/hour with minimal hours and be like every other buxiban in Taiwan. 
It depends what sort of class you’ve started. There’s a kind of unwritten sliding scale of hourly rates in this game. Supply and demand.
Constructive comments only, thanks.
These seem to me to be the current market rates:
General English to 7-12 year olds: 550-750/hr
General English to adults: 550-800/hr
Business English to adults (onsite): 600-900/hr
Business English to adults (offsite): about 1000/hr
Specialist exam preparation: 800-1000/hr
Of course, if you are only offering a single class then you are probably going to have to offer the higher end of the spectrum to take into account travel time and possible ARC issues for the teacher. It all boils down to supply and demand. You could advertise the job at the lower end and see if anyone bites. In the current market a lot of people seem to be prepared to work at lower rates.
Just as teachers are not legally able to teach unless they have open work rights or a Taiwanese passport, “schools” (programs/people offering classes/organizers/what have you) are not legally able to employ teachers unless they limit their employees to people with the above-mentioned work rights OR are able to provide a work permit. It’s no longer 100% black or white, “no ARC no employee” like it once was, but generally speaking you’ll either have to offer some pretty good incentives (people with open work rights have more choices) or offer a work permit, which means investment and paperwork and minimum hours and so on.
With respect, if you don’t know the prevailing market rates for English teachers, you need to be doing a lot more market research before you propose to open up a teaching program. And if you haven’t done this research, I seriously doubt that you are in a position to offer a work permit. If you ARE already a school that can offer work permit(s) but has no clue about how much a teacher costs, see the above comment about market research.
This to me is a big red flag about the experience I would have as a teacher working for you. It really sounds like either you (or your organization) has no clue about the market and about teaching in general, or you expect me to work illegally.
That’s EFL in Taiwan
