God, I sounded as if I knew what I was talking about back then.
Try searching in accounting (on this board) for posts by me. I have set it out a couple of times. Long one for Paul Paranoia I think

if we count 80k gross income for 200 days in a year, how can you net 60-65k? Isn't that too much?
You should be netting at least 70%. I checked UK tax solutions. In Switzerland it is 70% take home and 10% actually goes into a compulsory private pension fund (not some pathetic public sector black hole), which will be paid out in full if you leave the country within 5 years.
So 60K is easy peasy.

On Permanent Career Jobs and the Work Slave
You have heard, of course, of those tiny fish in the rivers of Brazil that attack the unwary swimmer by thousands and with swift little nibbles clean him up in a few minutes, leaving only an immaculate skeleton?
Well, that's what the organization is.
"Do you want a good clean life?
Like everybody else?"
You say yes, of course.
How can one say no?
"O.K. You'll be cleaned up.
Here's a job, a family, and organized leisure activities."
And the little teeth attack the flesh, right down to the bone.
Having slavery but not calling it that – even denying it and congratulating ourselves for this advance is “useful.” It has two consequences:
It soothes the consciousness of the slave “owner.”
The illusion of non-slavery often, even usually, internalized by the slaves themselves, gives them at least some sense of (false) hope.
“Just between us, slavery, preferably with a smile, is inevitable then. But we must not admit it. Isn't it better that whoever cannot do without having slaves should call them free men?
For the principle to begin with, and, secondly, not to drive them to despair. We owe them that compensation, don't we?
In that way, they will continue to smile and we shall maintain our good conscience.”

A good contractor can net 140k, three times as many holidays, AND still find time to post on CUK.
