First, find the gradient of line A. We know that the line passes through the points (1, 3) and (4, 9). To calculate the gradient, find the difference in the y coordinates and the difference in the x coordinates, and then divide the y value by the x value. 9 - 3/4 - 1 = 6/3 = 2. The gradient of line A is 2.
One government expert calculated that a construction worker earning $31,200 a year before taxes would be left with an annual net compensation of $10,660.80 if paid as an independent contractor, compared to $21,885.20 if paid properly as an employee.
Independent contractors (ICs) can charge for their services in a variety of ways, such as a fixed amount for an entire project, an hourly fee, or a sales commission. No matter how you bill clients, however, you first need to figure out how much to charge -- even if you charge a fixed fee for the whole project.o determine how much your labor is worth, pick a figure for your annual salary. This can be what you earned for doing similar work when you were an employee, what other employees earn for similar work, or how much you'd like to earn (as long as your goal is reasonable).
