Two common methods (in the US):
Lower method: Salary / 125 for day rate. So if you make $100k / year, your day rate is $800.
Higher method: Salary / 100 for day rate. So if you make $100k / year, your day rate is $1,000.
Then to get your hourly rate, take your day rate and divide by 8 or 10, your choice.
I wouldn’t change my rate based on global / local usage. Unless your thinking is that the client has more money, then by all means, go for the higher end.
Keep in mind, American salaries may work different than where you’re located. And I’ve definitely seen people charge way more than this and do well. But this is a solid starting point.

I believe the UK rate is much less than the States. Not for deficit of talent, just local economics being what they are. And here in Uncle Sam land, it’s changing for us and not for the better. What was once a $1-1.5-2k per day arrangement now seems to be $800-1200 a day with a a grand about the average.
