Most that can be tax-free here (GSA)

$1,267/wk

So at least this is taxed wages

$1,243/wk

≈ $34.53/hr over 36 hrs

If the agency pays the full tax-free stipend, your taxable wage is about $34.53/hr. If they pay less stipend, more of it is taxed.
A low taxable hourly rate means lower overtime, holiday and missed-shift pay, and smaller 401(k) contributions. Ask what overtime pays.
Tax-free stipends generally require a tax home you keep paying for while you travel. Ask a tax professional about your situation.
