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

  • •Use contracted hours, not 40 by default.
  • •Compare offers on annual + benefits, not headline rate.

Educational Content

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.

Concept Explanation

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).

Applications

▸Comparing offers on the same frequency
▸Sizing overtime, bonuses and differentials
▸Setting freelance, contractor and billable rates
