    550 is reasonably good! But not fantastic. However, it's great compared to what they had been offering in the last 3 years.

    http://calculator.contractoruk.com/

    Your current net monthly income is £5,035
    Avoiding IR35 would increase your income by £1,311 (20%) to £6,347
    Increasing your rate by £21 (24%) to £90, earns you the same as someone outside IR35.
    You can take an IR35 compliant contract for £12 less and still receive the same income.
    If you avoided IR35 and took an extra 11 weeks holiday you would still earn the same.
    To get the same income via permanent employment would require a salary of £93,433

    Although this isn't fair in my opinion as it calculates 44 weeks a year. To be on the safe side I wouldn't calculate more than 40 weeks a year, thus comparing it to a permie salary of 80-85k.

    It has to be done properly, a la "Roberto Calvi"...

    Do you think I'd trust Francko to do a job like that?

    Now, I wonder if Chico is looking for a new contract...
