Can an agency find out what rate you were on previously?

So £1000 per day pay = £1120.00 @ 12% mark-up - which means that your comparison is deliberately (and unnecessarily) misleading by an extra £16.36.

No, not at all. Not sure why/how you feel that.

In the example, I used an arbitrary figure of 12% Margin as being a competitors rate.

On a day rate of £1000 @ 12% Margin, the Client would be charged £1136.36 versus our charge of £1070.00 @ 7% mark-up.

It's not deliberate (or unnecessarily) misleading at all. We're stating our charge in comparison to another Agencies charge - quite clearly

My point is: Why compare mark-up with margin,; why not mark-up with mark-up or margin with margin? Answer: Because doing it your way, the difference is greater and therefore more impressive. It does not fool contractors why should it fool clients?

Indeed. It's not like we haven't already done this to death in General.

I just don't understand why people argue for the sake of arguing
