Managing Benefits Independently
Managing your benefits is one of the most significant shifts moving from W2 to 1099. As a W2 employee, your employer likely handles your health insurance, retirement contributions, and other perks. As a 1099 contractor, securing these benefits alone can be difficult and expensive. We compare your current W2 benefits with what you’ll need as a 1099 worker, helping you understand costs and find the best options.
Evaluating 1099 Offers
If you’re considering a 1099 offer, assessing how it compares to your current W2 compensation and benefits can be challenging. We comprehensively summarize your 1099 offer and compare it with your W2 situation. Our analysis includes financial projections and a detailed assessment of offer terms, helping you decide whether to accept or negotiate.
