The typical rule is that the hourly rate should be double your desired annual salary. So if I want to make $50k a year then my hourly rate should be that of a $100k salary. Reasoning behind it is because you have to pay for your own benefits which are pricy out of pocket.

Ditto what manager said. Assume 2000 hours per year (40 hrs * 50 weeks). If you make $50,000, bill to $100,000. $100,000/2,000 = $50 an hour.

Ha so then the quick way to do it is just divide your annual by 1,000. Never realized that. 60K salary= 60/hr.
