Agree with Bryan's formula and erpdesigner's markup tactic. I upscale my rate by 30% to cover tax obligations. If it's a long term project (more than 2-3 months), I'll request monthly invoicing so I can cover the estimated quarterlies.
I would only add that assets purchased specifically for the project (such as stock imagery, etc) should be itemized and billed along with the effort hours. Some folks build these items into the overall cost; I prefer to list them separately. The exception would be software/hardware products, unless there is an expectation that the client will own these items upon delivery. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
