I've also heard take your yearly salary, say $100k. Determine the hourly rate: $100k / 2000, which results in an hourly rate of $50. Now triple that to find your contracted rate. 33.3% for salary and healthcare (same amount taken home), 33.3% for capital (office space, computers, software, car) and 33.3% for taxes (you are responsible for more as an independent contractor).
So, if you were making $100k and decide to contract, you should charge $150 per hour to enjoy the same standard of living.
