My only advice on day rates is this: most agencies set their bill rates based on 1/3 salary, 1/3 overhead and 1/3 benefits (and a profit margin). So what rate are they billing you out at? For math sake, say $300.
Now, $100 of that is salary, but that assumes you’re full time. You’re not. I could make a case for the overhead, but not the benefits. Take that out. Now you’re at $200/hr.
You probably won’t get that, because, profit margin. Call it $150.
Or, if the math above ain’t mathing, your going rate should be half what they bill you at.
