The fastest way to come up with an hourly rate that will compensate you and
cover taxes, etc. is to divide your yearly salary by 1,000. For example, if
you make $50K per year, your hourly rate would be $50.

Nope. Double your salary and then divide by 2. Why? Insurance,
infrastructure, and other overhead costs. It generally costs a company
twice your salary to employ you.

That said, I know a lot fo writers who still to this day are charging
less than $50/hr for consulting services. I just shake my head,
because I don't get it. Meanwhile I know writers who charge over
$100/hr for the same types of services, and get it consistently.
