Comparing hourly rates can be as simple as getting a basic rate chart from a
big contract agency and using that to justify my salary (probably about half
of the published rate for a seasoned writer). This is assuming that a
contract writer would have taken the same amount of time to create the
deliverable.



Just make sure you include all of your benefits with your salary, because that is what your employer sees...not your take home, but everything it costs to employ you. Contractors, assuming it's a 1099 contractor, do not cost the company for medical, dental, retirement, office space, unemployment insurance, etc.

Apples to apples......true cost to true cost.
