Contract Agency Percentage?

[northernladuk]

It's not incredibly excessive. I think we generally talk about 12 -14% on here so its not the best but there are many stories of it being a lot worse.

You can neogtiate with agent though. If you get the gig tell the agent what you want and barter. It isn't fixed.

Went to an interview this week, my agent told me the rate was £304 per day - the client let slip it was £380.... Thats £76 a day they are making off me - 20% - does that sound excessive?

A bit yes, but I would have thought £304 is a funny amount and tried to work it back....
