I think the poll needs to be split by in and outside ir35 otherwise the rate card is going to be all over the place. So many peeps got lifted from 500 outside to 700 inside.

We must have a fairly top draw membership here if there are the same amount of people on £2k+ as on less than £300 a day.

To be fair he's got a point. If you confirm that your agent is on fixed commission from the start, nearly all my gigs have been, you can get the number and where they aren't you can take a stab at it or either a) check project docs for charge sheets or b) wait for some numpty to mail the spreadsheet out to every contractor (happened twice).Originally posted by d000hg View Post
By having the slightest bit of nous? Jeez. You don't know what agents take, seriously some NCOTBAC here

Clients pay what they need to for the skills they need. If IR35 means they have to pay 30% more then that is what they have to pay. It has skewed the value.Originally posted by d000hg View Post
Not really, it demonstrates what clients are paying. We could have a separate poll on IN/OUT but it's only a bit of idle curiosity. If you are on £300 and most are on £700, IR35 is not the biggest issue anyway

And those three words makes the poll a bit useless at best.

In my sector (Scala, financial services) the majority of contracts are between £550-£850 inside IR35. Higher rates are out there for real functional programming experts.
Outside gigs are few and far between...

I'll vote, I don't really mind sharnig, but I wonder how useful this information would really be?
Without a minimum of skillset or industry, it doesn't give you any meaningful information on what kind of rates to expect.
Without Inside / Outside info, it will vary hugely.

There's been a bit of chat about burgeoning rates in recent threads, I thought it'd be interesting to do a bit of a poll. Out here in the frozen north in a long-term contract I reckon I'm a bit out of the loop.
Obviously it's anonymous, don't share anything you don't want people to know.
I've done it as a daily rate, if like me you're on hourly then can I suggest we standardise on a 7.5 hour billing day for consistency?
I won't vote for a bit so you don't see my rate as the first and only vote
