If you were employed by a local company what would you expect they pay for (that includes an office!) or provide as benefits? What would be compulsory by law? (in fact what is the law in any case?) What would that cost you if you had to pay for it by yourself? What would you miss out on as an independent contractor/freelancer?
You need to have answers to these questions so that you can decide what to ask for.
