    Yeh I gather I can't mention the company name here? Its a credit checking company, east midlands, which falls within the financial services area. Not a tier 1 bank or anything but nobody else will give me a break in that sector so at that rate it seems a good offer from what you experienced contractors are saying.

    It sounds like a good rate at 25 but it's all about inflation....

        I've put in £300 on the <snip> and getting a take home of £2892.

        Does that sound about right? With allowances and expenses in my current perm role it works out at around £2300 and that with pension, medical and student loan removed.

        £2892 seems a little low or am I missing something?

            Thanks for that, I'm going with umbrella as a first timer. That calculator is coming out with a monthly net of £4484, which is course what I want to hear. Why the massive difference??

            The recruitment agency are saying to go with Giant umbrella, who will be quoting me in the morning. If it's around the 4k mark, then I'll be jumping.

              Credit Checker

              Good luck, they are a good company, like to follow the process but makes it straightforward.

              Most contractors there get extended (including myself) - they have a good stream of work and are happy to transfer you to other departments to retain talent.
