Sure. And Aaron said to double it. So after you divide by 2, you double it. :)

That's wrong.

You need to divide by 2.  $75k -> 35/hour....

Thank you. This is very helpful. I didn't know that there was a clear rule of thumb like this.

And since most people work 40 hours a week (approximately 2000 hours a year), another more generalized way to state the rule of thumb is take
your preferred annual salary and divide by 1000.

Ie, $75,000 becomes $75 an hour.  In the US, keep in mind that taxes
on income after business expenses will be no less than 15.3% (self
employment tax) and most likely 30% or higher (se tax plus income and
other taxes), so a lot of this money disappears quickly :)

Rough rule of thumb is to take your salary (or preferred salary),
convert it to an hourly rate, then double it.
