RE: W2 to 1099 Conversion Rule Of Thumb?

[Lisa Wright <liwright -at- earthlink -dot- net>]

In my experience discussing w-2 vs 1099 with employers, this is not entirely true. They understand how the different relationships impact financially and thhat has a bearing on negotiations. 

Also, most employers are interested in what you last made. The market is a factor but so is personal history, and being able to present a fair rate with the 1099 impact accounted for can only help matters.

All you can do is earn what the market will bear. Your clients are not
interested in your wish to earn on a contract the equivalent of what you
earned as an employee.

It's just a market -- buyers and sellers. You, as a seller, will be able to
determine over time what your local market is like, and it may have no
relationship to your former rate of pay.
