Agent wants me to drop £50 (meaning they see £100) and also tries to get Client to up their paying rate by similar amount (meaning they see £150). Neither Client or I budge, hence Agent struggles trying to make their £50/day margin work.
The 10% is roughly what the Client was being asked to cough up extra, on top of the Pay Rate they had originally given for the role.
Shame, though, as I like the potential day rate your version came up with
