About W2to1099Rate

A free, plain-language calculator for people deciding between a W-2 job and 1099 contract work.

Most calculators give one number and no reasons. W2to1099Rate shows every step, uses current official figures, and tells you what it leaves out, so you can check it yourself.

W2to1099Rate is built by Kajal Rabidas, an electrical engineering student, to help freelancers compare job offers with contract rates using official IRS and state sources.
