      You're not listening. The agency have the role and will have agreed a rate with the client. The contractor gets a percentage of that rate from the agency. Clearly you have to ensure you get as much as you can for your rate, but what the agency gets is not really much to do with you. Focus on your own income.

      But I'm running out of patience with this drip drip of basic questions. I'll wait until you as an intelligent one. If you want to be a contractor, learn to think for yourself.
      Blog? What blog...?

        Wow. I tried to be nice in my responses, but now I think you're a sockie, and not a particularly good one either.

        That is one of the most ridiculous questions I've heard in a long time. You are definitely not cut out to be a contractor.

            We were nice, now we are losing patience.

                For me it was when you asked if "that [the response I gave] that reason Agency trying to increase the margin as much as they can." The answer is so blindingly obvious it hurts. Convinced you're a sockie tbf.

                Also, "lose".

                  The contract will be between your Limited Company and the agency, the agency will then have a contract with the end client. If you are working through an umbrella company you will work under a contract of employment with them and they will have a contract with the agency.

                  With regard to the agency margin (and assuming you're not a sockie) - work out what you think is a fair rate for your skills and don't take any lower than that - negotiations work both ways! At the end of the day if the contract isn't paying enough, don't take it
