Questions to ask your recruiter
How this is calculated ▾
Blended hourly = weekly gross ÷ hours worked, where weekly gross = (taxable rate × hours) + housing + meals. It's the apples-to-apples number for comparing offers.
Overtime is shown on your taxable base × multiplier, because that's how agencies pay it — not on the blended rate. A low base means weak OT.
Annualized assumes ~48 worked weeks a year and is an estimate only; stipends are paid while you're on assignment. Non-taxable stipends stay non-taxable only if you keep a qualifying IRS tax home and duplicate living expenses.
Estimate for comparing offers and starting a conversation with your recruiter — not tax or legal advice. Confirm specifics with a qualified professional.
