My I485 was approved. Now I finally have an offer with another employer. This is a contract job, no benefits or whatsoever. I remember somebody post before the percentage of salary that costs employer to pay for employee's benefits. Could you help me on this again? If a salaried employee earns 60K, how much should he request for a contract job?

Many thanks in advance.
 
There's no fixed percentage that costs any employer. The bigger the employer, the better benefits you get (usually, since they get better group rates).

Contract work is a entire different world. The hourly rate is not a mere measurement salary/12 months + benefits. Big time hourly contact people only claculate 70% of their time as billable (on an everage). Add risk factor to that. Add taxes to that (you might end up in a bigger tax bracket). Add expenses. You come up with the number that is comfortable for you.

I know this is not the right discussion board to discuss these things but just had to respond to you.
