What should I charge per hour.

Turn a burdened rate and a target margin into a charge-out number for the bid. Default rate is the Ridge $90 EXAMPLE. Nothing stored.

Charge-out rate

$138.46/hr

$90.00 ÷ (1 − 35%) = $138.46/hr on the bid. Load the wage first on the labor burden calculator. This is arithmetic, not a market survey.

The formula, in plain English

Charge-out $/hr = burdened rate ÷ (1 − target margin). Confirm the loaded wage on the labor burden calculator first. This is not a wage survey and not tax advice.

This is a sketch. Put the rate on a real job and see if it held.
