What drives the result
Annual = amount x per-year factor (hourly annualizes through hours/week x 52). Net = gross - tax - deductions. Contractor 1099 needs 30-50% over W-2 for benefits, PTO, bench risk and both halves of payroll tax. Billable = (goal + overhead) / hours / (1 - margin).
Recommendations
- •Pre-tax funding cuts the rate slice first.
- •Check the effective rate, not the bracket.

Introduction
Salary math is frequency math: annualize at the stated schedule, then divide into any other frequency. Gross is before tax; net is after; CTC adds employer costs; freelance rates divide a goal plus overhead by billable hours.
