Taxes vary from state to state and country to country. If you are attempting to figure out how your daily rate competes against a national or state average, it is especially important to work with gross salary rates.
Imagine you are working as a freelancer and you were paid $7,000 for a project that lasted 3 months. If you worked 5 days per week, you would multiply 5 times 12 (weeks) to get 60 total working days. Divide $7,000 by 60 to get your $116. 67 day rate.
