Add another 10-20% onto your salary. Logic goes, if you're willing to work for less than you're currently making then you don't have confidence in your own abilities. Going in with a reasonable raise shows that you value yourself. If they can't afford you, then let them negotiate.
Also, the benefits may be a smaller part of the package in the private sector, so take that into account too.
