Is 13% mark up good or bad for an Agents margin?

[XTC]

13% is good, my last contract was 11%. You won't really get much lower than 10%

[sli_gryn]

my first contract, the client let slip what the agency was asking as a daily rate. based on what they were offering me, they were making 25%. of course, when it came to the final negotiations, "everything has changed" and they tried to cut my take by a further 10%, stuck to my guns and got them back to 20% of the total.

left me with that slimy feeling afterwards, (fec*ers trying to stiff me 5% for what?), but have got it across the line...

13% sounds pretty reasonable, however, i'm just off the boat myself

10% to 15% is norm, but don't get too hung up on it.

If you've got the gig and you're happy with the £ then forget about it - it's not worth worrying about
