Daily rates

[te7037]

I was approached by a company with an offer of a 13-month contract role with a daily rate of £300 for umbrella company or £235 under PAYE.

I wish to know the actual salary (including holiday pays) of permanent roles that offer the same rates for umbrella companies and PAYEs.

Anyone can help?

Surely it depends how much holiday you would be entitled to under the PAYE contract?

Doesn't this depend on what business you're in? Eg a self-employed consultant lawyer would have a different rate ph or pd than, say, a proofreader. Not quite sure what you're asking? I do freelance work and charge according to my level of experience and expertise, comparable with my field.

How do you mean cheated?

Thanks, but any rough idea will do. I have been cheated once so I wish to avoid a similar issue again.

You can't really compare a contract rate with a permanent salary easily. Because as a freelancer you are responsible for your own insurance, tax, accounts, holiday / sick pay etc.
