[IR35 Avoider]

I've averaged 63K a year over 17 years contracting. I've probably had the equivalent of 3 full years off work during that time, almost all of it in the last five years.

My worst year as a contractor was 1991, when I earned 24K, and my best was 2001, when I earned 108K.

Add in estimates of pre-contracting salary during nearly three years of permiedom takes my life-time earnings to just over 1100K over 20 years, bring my career average down to 56K.

(Edited to take out unnecessary VAT adjustments - it turns out all my records exclude VAT by default.)
