Originally posted by ContractingBrit View PostYou have raised some great points here, thanks. You are right I need to get a better grasp of the end salary. Google does help mate but there is an overload of information but I have the weekend to do more research.
I can't help thinking you've seen massive numbers and are getting all giddy without understanding anything about what you are letting yourself in for. Have you been looking at gigs closer to you or are you just jumping at one that's making your perm salary look a bit second rate.
I do know its inside IR35 regulation as the recruiter mentioned it and I will be paid as a PAYE part of an umbrella company.
I will actually move to London closer to the job. The job is inside London. What do you mean when you said travel expenses are not allowed?
Also warchest - I am not too sure what you mean by that either.
Read the last post and work backwards of this thread. Some grim reading on here.
https://www.contractoruk.com/forums/...arket-176.html
As already mentioned, the first timer guides go a long way to covering most of these points and a hell of a lot more.
You are an inexperienced contractor so you'll find the second gig is the hardest to get. You don't have the comfort of a full time job while you look as you did for the first. No work, no income.Last edited by northernladuk; 26 April 2019, 15:45.

There is a lot more to it than your question which is why you really have to step up and work it out yourself. This is your income we are talking about. Surely you should be trying to get a grasp on that rather than someone else doing it for you.
Is the gig inside or outside IR35? LTD/Brolly/PAYE? How much travelling will you do, how much to live there? If it's inside then no travelling expenses are allowed.
Remember even though it's a salary you are still on a short term contract so it might be a good salary but it won't be there in say 6 months time when you have no work and don't have a single penny coming in. What are you doing about your warchest?
and so on and so on. Google is rather fantastic at helping you here and I'm sure even the East Midlands have it now.
And BTW don't trust a single word an agent tells you.

Does this seem realistic?
Also I wonder if that's a good salary to move to London? I currently live in East Midlands and earn about £2,900/month after tax of course living costs are lower here.
Thanks for any thoughts or comments in advance.

Need to put a bit more legwork in than this I am afraid.

Please can you advice how much one can expect to take home using this figure.
I really want to get into contracting but it seems so daunting as I don't seem to understand the implications as there are so many options. Any links to topics for beginners will also be much appreciated.
Many thanks for your help in advance.
