So allowing for an extra £20, your take home would have been £481, which would have been 74% take home.
Yes, I would let sleeping dogs lie as well if I were you...

The margin is reasonable but all of this should really have been explained to you when you were taken on as their employee

Thanks all!

Lisa - I'm afraid if it was explained, I missed it, so I can't say. I was however, quoted £11.99 fees or similar as a new contractor moving from another. My previous company offered my £11.99 or so as an introductory offer. All of my payslips are showing £20.50 fee until this week's which has jumped to £40.00 - I am going to speak with them
Thanks all!

Was it explained to you before you signed up with them that their margin and the employer's NI figure are deducted from the contract value before your salary is calculated?

By how much?
There's the Brolly fee of £40 which seems a lot to me, and the employers NI which comes out of your pocket since it's part of the gross rate, £44.08.
So that's £84 quid before you start to deduct you NI and PAYE....
