RE: translating an hourly contract rate into a salary
Subject:RE: translating an hourly contract rate into a salary From:"Downing, David" <DavidDowning -at- Users -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Thu, 16 Sep 2004 16:31:02 -0400
Actually, the way I first interpreted this was that if your annual
salary is $60,000.00, you should charge $90,000.00/hour! <G>.
I THINK, however, that what the original poster meant was that your
current salary should come out to 2/3 of whatever your hourly rate comes
out to annually, and you should set your hourly rate so that that
happens. Would that be correct?
