There was a big discussion recently on the Shopbot forum www.shopbottools.com on caluclating cut time. They analyzed it pretty thouroughly if you want to make a science of it.
Otherwise, you could estimate all your setup and ancillary costs + "aircut" a 36" circle on your machine and add a little time for the machine to move to the next circle.
As for how much $$$ router cutting goes for on the open market, I haven't figured that one out yet either.
