The OP trolls the professional forums every few weeks to create or derail threads to ask everyone if they agree with his latest opinion of what daily rate is equivalent to what permanent salary. He always makes assumptions, leaves out important parts of the equation, etc.
I'm not sure if this is actually part of a job he does, trying to find out what contractors think/earn, or what.
Next time he goes on about rates will be a permaban.
So far this thread has moved away from a simple (quite common question which others have expressed an interest over) to personal insults and humiliation. It also questioned whether rates were important or what the individual burn rate of money was for that person. A most friendly bunch of colleagues who I am pleased to call friends for life : )
Perhaps the OP (me) is keen ambitious and regularly questions his net worth and wants to compare his net worth given that IR35 is so new - In the same way that landlords think about rent increases dozens of times a day I think about my salary and equivalent perm numbers many times a day is my defence.
I leave with my tail tucked between my legs still pondering how when you have interest in a role for someone who you have worked for and get the chance to propose perm / inside numbers.
The jury have concluded that discussion on rates in a bullish economical environment on a contractor forum is not appropriate - Instead we can look forward to Brexit and Boris posts.

Agencies will only advertise 1 of 2 rates - an all in assignment rate (i.e. the highest rate they can plausibly get away with) or a PAYE rate (which is what they are supposed to use but here advertising standards can't be arsed to police job adverts).
PAYE rate is what you pay an employee for an hours work so it will exclude / be after employer NI, holiday pay (which would be paid when you leave or take a holiday) and a 3% pension allowance has been deducted.
Assignment / Umbrella rate will be before Employer NI, holiday pay, umbrella costs because the whole point is to get the headline figure to be the highest figure possibleLast edited by eek; 28 June 2022, 13:37.

Would you like a different calculation to his?

One complication is the inside IR35 rate can mean lots of different things (with or without employers NI, umbrella fees, holiday pay etc). The figure in the contract can be very different from the figure in the job ad.
So if there’s a simple answer to what is the perm rate equivalent to an inside daily rate of a specific type, then what is it? As the OP requested (but was ignored) you don’t need to worry about all the non-financial differences.

Yes I know ; specious argument. Bit like this whole thread.
Outside IR35, being a freelancer, then a one size fits all calculation is irrelevant as it depends on each person's circumstances and how their Ltd is run.
It's more important for a person to know what their burn rate is, and how they would survive if their income was reduced. Again, that's not a one size calculation, because people have mortgages, loans, investments, etc, and family to consider.
Which is why the OP's posts are specious, as you rightly say.

Will I have to work in an office?
If I have to work in an office how far will I have to commute?
etc.
Ask a silly question you get a silly answer or a thread full of them.
You have started multiple threads asking the same question instead of bumping your original thread because you don't like the answers you keep getting. Regardless of the forum you are on, the admins/moderators get fed up if you keep doing that and will ban you.
The Boris Johnson is PM of the UK and the threads about his "ways" are in General which has the subheading - "All hope abandon ye who enter here. Seriously."
Now I need to code these attributal questions into a Google Sheet / Excel. I just don't know how at the moment? Vis-a-vis make my own contract rate to permanent salary calculator.
Thank goodness though that everyone has a different value / ethics / morality / financial metric, intrinsically. If this was not true, then we would not be able to trade goods and service, if we are not able to value to trade, then the economy would have no fundamental basis.
I always wondered about folk who buy houses next door or accept living next to extremely very busy roads. I thought the couples who lived over there, e.g. infamous Cromwell Road, Earl's Court, West London, were strong sleepers... but hey nowt queer as folk.

I took the OP’s question at face value of just financials.

It's all explained in this thread.

hobnob - again, thanks for the response. Tbh, because calculators are so unreliable, and do make so many assumptions, I read between the lines of the OP’s statement and about calculators, and simply viewed it as Malvolio states 800 a day, is roughly 100k. I roughly know what 800 a day gives you monthly, and more accurately know what 100k an annum gives you monthly. I still feel the majority of contractors have a per annum figure, or monthly income that if achieved via perm would pack up the contracting malarkey. For some that maybe 120k a year or 250k a year, or for others never as the love and pure exhilaration and freedom of contracting outweighs any perm offering. ?
I think for many newbies (myself included) you do get bogged down in the financials as you’re in such a secure cocoon of permy world.
mince you’ve got a few contracts under your belt and money in the bank, you can then perhaps start to see all the other benefits that we haven’t done in our comparison (the ability to shove two fingers up at a client and take another contract elsewhere probably being priceless)!
