Today's career talk

What is the right hourly rate to charge for your labor when you work at home, wonders Barbara Brabec in her book Homemade Money: Starting Smart. Start with your preferred annual net, estimate the number of work hours per week, multiply by 50 weeks to get an hourly figure. Then add expenses and divide by the number of working hours annually. Add the hourly expense figure to the hourly income figure to figure out how much to charge for a desired annual net income.
