$150 / hr as a 1099 Contractor, is more like $75/hr has a W2 employee after you factor in employee benefits (normally 30-40% of your total comp) and taxation (10-15% more for self employment depending on your deductions)

If you’re doing it as part time to your full time job, it’s a bit more. The taxes are a little higher, but you’re already getting benefits from your full-time gig

True and if your goal is to only ever work part time as a 1099 (i.e over employed) then it would be fine to look at it like that

However if your goal is to work to replace your employment you should start out looking at the full picture, and pricing your work accordingly.
