Comparing contract and permanent roles
When you compare a contractor day rate with a salaried job, remember that contractors usually aren't paid for holidays, sick days or bank holidays, and they fund their own pension and equipment. A common rule of thumb is to assume about 46 billable weeks a year instead of 52. Set Weeks/year to 46 to see a more realistic annual figure for contract work.
