At that rate, that's an annual salary of over $600,000. No way a pre-tenure academic philosopher is that expensive!

I get (52⋅5−8−20)⋅($20000/12) ≈ $386666.67 - this of course is an absolute upper bound on how much I can make for my employer, not an estimate. But agreed, chargeout rates for philosophers may differ.
