    Same but no way the same level of risk.

    Perhaps take a wider view rather than just pure take home pay.... what's your current skillset and how does £65k perm or £700/day inside compare? How likely are you to be able to withstand a downturn if the recession takes hold? How much do you value the security of a longer term contract? Also, IR35 rules will be changed from April 2023 so that might be a factor for you too.

    I’ve been offered a contact @ 700 a day (inside IR35 not using a LTD). I’m currently a perm on 65k. Fairly longterm contract from what I can glean. Am I right in thinking that I should be looking at half of 700 as my take home, so £350ish? Several different IR35 calculators seem to fluctuate quite a bit.

    If it was you, Is this gig worth taking based on these numbers?
