    Best thing to is find a job description of a full time equivalent and divide that by weekly. That will give you base.

    If you want to get more technical, minus the cost of benefits (material / psychological) then add potential over time outside the normal hours. And apply the tax benefits that you would receive by going freelance.

    Generally, the employers want weekly / daily so they do not need to worry about over time. You are compensated for your over time in full time status as material and immaterial benefits; long term and short.

    As a general rule, doing weekly, you do not get that much more then full time person. I would add 10-20 percent on top of the weekly base from calculated full time.
