What is your experience/skill level?
(i presume you are asking for yourself. If not there are threads in here on average pay already that you can search for.)

I charge 2 mooses, 6 swallows (African Swallows, not European ones), a pair of coconuts, and a newt.

but how do you calculate the air speed of the swallows if you do not have a full set of 6 coconuts?

It varies a lot. Some wedding photographers only offer $X amount for 2nd shooters. I've started asking for a certain rate when I 2nd shoot. But then again I'm not seeking experience when I second shoot, I'm offering it.

I'm with swoop...
At this point, since so many people ask me to second shoot and what I bring to the table for them is valuable, I set my own rates.

*caveat: unless the other shooter is someone who routinely shoots for me as well. In which case the prices are way lower 'cause really we're just trading cash back and forth.
