Replacing a light with a fan on an existing fan-rated box is quick. If the box isn't rated for a fan, or there's no wiring, add time for a brace box or a new circuit. High ceilings add ladder time. Price the hours to your margin, not a flat guess.
FAQ
Can a ceiling fan go on any light box?
Only on a box rated for fan support; otherwise install a fan brace box.
Should the customer supply the fan?
Often. If you supply it, mark it up to cover your time buying and returning it.
