On the first part, I had thought of that and thought it a bit cheeky to ask.
If they don't then select the umbrella based on allowing Advanced Holiday Pay (so nothing can be stolen) followed by pension provider. Because you can always open a new pension provided you have one.Last edited by eek; 31 March 2022, 08:11.

Erm. Are you FTE which is an employment contract of sorts or are you PAYE? I am assuming as you are talking day rate it's PAYE and the title is wrong.
Are you sure you can max out your pension on PAYE? I don't know the answer, just didn't think you could. And you might have to hunt around for a brolly that allows you to put max in to a pension of your choice. Not all do.
Get each to give you a key information document which should break down the figures in detail which might help. Also will you be staying inside for long? The continuous employment through a brolly might help more with mortgages and the like if you can stay with them for multiple contracts.

FTE or Umbrella
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I've just been offered a role, which can be fixed term on the clients books as PAYE or via an Umbrella and I'm trying to weigh up the best option.
PAYE wise: I have my day rate + 33 days paid holiday, + 3% pension contribution
Umbrella wise: I have the same day rate + holiday pay factored for 33 days of the year + 3% pension + employers NI + apprenticeship levy.
On the face of it, they seem pretty even and both should allow me to max out my pension contribution via salary sacrifice.
The only real significance difference I can see ( I think) is the saving on Employers NI where they pay me gross and I use salary sacrifice, which reduces the liability.
Is there anything else I am missing?
