This is a good rule of thumb, and probably the most common one. It's basically identical to 2x your hourly rate as an employee. (FT employment is often figured at 2000 hours/year.)

So if you want the equivalent of $75,000/year, charge $75/hour.

"2x your hourly rate as an employee"

Maybe if you can manage to pretend that your employer doesn't pay half of your social security taxes =)

That's part of why you have to figure for a rate so much higher than your salaried rate.
