Hi! Confused on Contracting

[Old Greg]

40 weeks working a year, combined with a quick run through the various brolly calculators.

40 weeks? Fair enough, but if the OP is working via a brolly, then it's important to compare apples with apples.

OP, what do you base the current 45k per year via brolly on? How many weeks work is that? What is the daily rate?

The new guy might not understand OP. Or, he might.

But I do wish across the board that these new guys were a bit quicker to respond to those taking an interest in their queries... Sticking one post at top, and then disappearing is just plain rude, I feel.
