Contract v perm advice

[SueEllen]

Do you really think £55k is realistic perm salary for your role? I'd be surprised if they didn't pitch in a bit lower, because of the "benefits of being permanent"

Like making you redundant within two years.

£320 daily = £40/hour = £40k permanent salary.

£55k is too good for this role as permie!

£320 daily = £40/hour = £40k permanent salary.

£55k is too good for this role as permie!

I prefer to calculate as such:

Contract: 320 x 200 = 64k a year

Then must add bonus, benefits and pension to the permie job and compare. I'd say 40k is a little too low unless the bonus/pension is fantastic. More like 47.5k would be a decent trade off. I agree that 55k sounds like a much better deal in any case, even if the rest of package is very low.

well they have offered £50k which considering I am operating outside IR35 at the mo is too much of a cut to consider even doing the same job so have declined.
