I'm very sorry you felt the need to do such excessive computations. I have spreadsheets about my invoices, so I can just look up statistics instead. You wouldn't have needed to blindguess them manually :(

I'm sorry, we misunderstood. It's part-time indeed. I wrote "1 year" because: On our website, we promised the donation campaign is for 1 year of having an employee. So I must keep my hour count below a certain limit to ensure that the money is enough for this. At the current exchange rate, it would be 23.6 hours/week. This is the average of what I had delivered during the past few months of work. In other words, the $27500 was chosen from that average as: 23.6 hours/week * 52 weeks * total all-inclusive cost for me per hour. As I'm not a student anymore, and my family responsibilities will be decreasing as well, my average weekly hour count is not limited by that anymore. So I would be willing to try to raise it. However, this would have to wait until we have more funds so we don't break our promise of 1 year of having an employee.
