FAQs
- Why isn't a contractor rate comparable to salary?
- Employee cost includes payroll taxes, benefits, PTO, and overhead beyond base salary. Comparing a raw contractor rate to base pay understates the employee cost.
- Is this classification or tax advice?
- No. Worker-classification and tax rules vary by jurisdiction. Treat this as a planning estimate and confirm with qualified advisors.
