What is the equivalent £, or what is the market rate for the equivalent role?
Let's imagine £200 per day was the equivalent of £200,000 per year. (Silly numbers, but I'm trying to make you think)
£200 per day will get you a role on a support desk as 1st line MS support.
£200,000 a year will get you the director of IT in a big company.
Somewhere less than £200,000 a year is what a permanent 1st line support person will earn.
Then there's location. Are you a contractor who has travelled for work before or always stayed with roles near where you live? Would you be prepared to relocate for a permanent role? Would you expect the same salary in different locations?

My personal situation is, I am mostly going with an umbrella company now. Even if I eventually start a Ltd. company, I don't have anyone to add to it as shareholder.
What I am looking for is an approximate equivalent so that I don't quote a perm pay which is out of place (way too high or way too low).
May be I don't get the best pay as of now but that is ok. I will eventually get there in few months.
So, basically I am looking for ROUGH perm pay range equivalent of 400/day inside IR 35.
You want money comparisons for a given role, start by analysing Jobserve or Indeed for quoted salaries and even then there will be huge variations.

The market for contractors is very different to the market rate for an employee - I've seen people get £400 a day for a job that paid £25,000 and £400 a day for a job that paid £70,000. It all depends on how desperate the end client is for the work to be done asap.Last edited by eek; 4 April 2022, 08:12.

And then there's personal circumstances - if you run your own Ltd and have your parents, partners etc all down as shareholders or "employees", then you can reduce your taxes, you can put more into your pension pot out of the company and reduce taxes, etc.
The OP's question is the equivalent of "What did the Romans ever do for us?"
If you only focus on one element and ignore everything else, then the calculation is simple. But the "everything else" should really be a big factor in the calculation, which will vary from one person to the next.

If you want to go look at the multiple attempts we've had to answer it then try a google search of the forums. In Google type <keywords> site:forums.contractoruk.com and have a read. Mess with the keywords a bit to make sure you've got them all. perm vs contract pay or something like that to start.

What would be the permanent salary equivalent for the contracting pay?
If one is open for both contract and permanent, how to arrive at equivalent pay?
Suppose we put 400/day inside IR35 on contractor calculator, we get below calculation :- Contract outside of IR35:
- Net monthly income is around £5,096
- Permanent salary required is £90,470
- Contract inside of IR35:
- Net monthly income is around £4,194
- Permanent salary required is £71,797
What is the rough calculation between contract rate to actual typical perm pay?
Many thanks.Last edited by Contractor UK; 7 July 2022, 17:48. - Contract outside of IR35:
