Weeks worked per year

[skysies]

I'm trying to figure out the value of my next contract. What's the average of weeks you worked in a year?

Based on my previous gigs I average 48 weeks per year out of the 52 weeks. Is that a kill?

Below the breakdown:

1 week - bank holidays
2 weeks - summer holiday
1 week - winter holiday
1 week - sick days

A lot less than that - one of my favourite things about contracting is the appalling amount of time I can have off!

[northernladuk]

Surely it's only as long as end date of the contract....or better still the notice period

[BigRed]

I've been 49-50 over 5 years, moved between 4 gigs with barely a week between them. Been on the bench since January though

The money making machine!

The money making machine!

Trouble is, I'm married to a highly efficient money spending machine who instantly thinks any contact is an ongoing steady state situation

Yep. I aim for working 200 days a year.
