Also missing from this are:

* The time you spend managing and supervising, including desk-checking the stuff they send out, because it goes out under your name and you are only as good as your last job.

* IT costs, and office space if they aren't working from home.

* Liability insurance in case they screw up. (Not certain about this: maybe you just trust that your company is a sufficient legal firewall because its only asset is you).

I remember back around 1990 hearing that for my big company employer putting a coder in a seat in front of a computer cost roughly twice their salary. That's still true today.
