Why do they charge a percentage? Why not a fixed fee for a fixed amount of work?

Some of them do charge a fixed fee. Like you say - it doesn't make any sense paying one on a percentage basis IMHO unless you earn a low amount.
The cost to them of providing their service won't be more if you earn more. -
The Guide to Umbrella Companies on here says:
A reputable umbrella company should not charge you according to what you earn. There is no more work involved, for the umbrella company, if you earn £50 per day or £500 per day. If you are quoted a percentage of your earnings as a fee you should ensure, through careful calculation, that you will still be paying a reasonable amount – average fees are between £15 and £25 per week.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment
