Agreed that IT probably doesn't match yours. The general rule of thumb is 1.25 to 1.4 times base salary.
Is that salary + 25-40% or salary + 125-140%?
25-40% seems impossibly low. Taxes alone will eat up a big part of that. Vacation and other benefits should push it over the top. Someone has to do the internal accounting. You need marketing.
Even just pure "on call" employees with no benefits will top 25%.
