Some are full-time jobs with benefits and others are part-time without benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">To stir the pot and get things simmering, I asked what she thought she would need to make. With full-time jobs with benefits, it's more of an \"Apples to Apples\" scenario. If the benefits are similar, then the salary number means the most.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">If a job pays a higher hourly rate, but doesn't have benefits, I suggested she look at her pay stub and see what she is currently paying toward her benefits each month as a starting point. Then I reminded her that for benefits, the employer also usually pays toward at least some of them, so she would need to factor that in as well, to get a better idea about what the true monthly cost is for the benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: inherit;\">It's not as easy as it sounds.

You fill out your withholding forms and sign up for whatever standard benefits are offered, and after that, you probably worry most about what your take-home pay is each month. It's easy to forget how much you actually make per hour. When you're working for yourself, or cobbling together different contract work, you find yourself comparing \"Apples to Oranges.\"<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">Here is an easy way to start.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Assume you get two weeks of paid time off each year.
