Total Career Earnings ?

For a better permie comparison you need to know your average yearly take home. Use an online salary calculator to see what permie salary you would have needed all this time to have the same take home.

Then remember all the time off, respect from senior people at your client sites, variation of work and lack of permie bull. It won't look so bad.

I do all my VAT and stuff through a VB app that I built when I first started out. It has a quarterly summary and tracking screen etc. So I can tell you that I have earned 1.1 mill in my contracting career .
