Most people calculate their freelance rate wrong.
Salary ÷ 2,080 hours = your number, right?
Wrong. A 150K salary does not equal 72/hr freelance.
Once you factor in:
• Health insurance (around 13K/year on your own)
• 401k match (often 6–8K/year)
• Self-employment tax (15.3% on profits)
• Unbillable time (25–50% of your work)
You’re usually closer to a 140–160/hr minimum just to stand still.
The 1099 Simulator calculates your actual rate before you make the leap.

Baidu TalkType AI Keyboard | Product Launch Video
Hi! I produced this technical explainer video for Baidu's voice-first AI keyboard app powered by deep learning speech recognition. I translated complex technology, including Stanford research on speech-to-text accuracy and speed, into a clear, engaging narrative for mainstream audiences. This was published on Baidu's official YouTube channel as the primary asset for their product launch announcement.
