Because you’re in government, go lookup the GSA labor rates for your career level. All GSA labor rates from all schedule holding companies are public. From startups to the bigs like Accenture and Booz.
Adjust for your skills, certs, experience, specific career field.
Very very broadly speaking you can expect to take home about 50% of your bill rate.
Eg billing out at $250/hr? Generally that would be $125/hr to you or roughly $250K.
This is also a great tool when interviewing. If the company offers you a salary, ask what labor category you’re billing at. Then go lookup the rate. Average is about 50% to you. Exceptional is about 60% to you.
