In my ongoing contract, the agency pays me X£ per day, but later, I found they charge the client Y£ per day. (Y-X)/Y is about 10%. I don't think they can survive on 10%. Now question are do they always squezze your penny you should have? how much would they put on your asking rate?

Could you please repeat the question (if it is a question) in English?

I'm sure agents do not need to use trigonometry to work out margins?

What is (Y-X)/X ? cos X is their layout they have to fund.
What is payment terms? cos that is how long funding for
What is their credit rating? cos that will say how much borrowing costs.
