Sorry, that's 2 x salary / 1000 = hourly rate.

Whether you can get it is another matter, but that will ensure you're
getting paid properly and can support a business and all that goes
with it (your health care, vision, dental, life insurance, other
insurance policies, equipment, software, overhead work such as
accounting, advertising, billing...).

Nope. Double your salary and then divide by 2. Why? Insurance,
infrastructure, and other overhead costs. It generally costs a company
twice your salary to employ you.

That said, I know a lot fo writers who still to this day are charging
less than $50/hr for consulting services. I just shake my head,
because I don't get it. Meanwhile I know writers who charge over
$100/hr for the same types of services, and get it consistently.
