At the place I'm at now, contractor costs need to be shown in project budgets which are internally unrestricted. One guy found out he was getting just over half what the agency was being paid by the client (£325 from £600). His mistake was telling the agency he really needed the role.Comment

I dont run contracts at less than 18% mark up. Unless it is for a bulk client. Who I avoid working for.
My rule is, if the contractor is happy with his rate and the client is happy with their rate and my financial director is happy with the margin, then what is the worry?
Unsurprisingly though, if I am forced to work to a set margin, then I work less enthusiastically and the client gets a worse service.
Also, the client arent paying a contractor rate + an agency fee. They are paying an all inclusive fee for the service.Comment
