Yuri missed the key two words in the whole thing: "up north". No London weighting, etc.

(obviously for every1 else depends on goals/preferences, therefore matter of personal balance).
The processes affecting this choice at present
(shifts due to broad "situation" on a market, economic environment, aka collapse of demand, abundant supply
because not everyone has builtup sufficient liquidity and resulting drop in rates/packages on both markets)
are not covered.

Not sure weighting/rent/month-off-holiday/stability are significant enough to account for it (for someone is),
again: all IMO, everyone else's circumstances are different to trigger the choice.Comment

Based on 220 days as a sole director, with £3k for expenses such as accountant and insurance, you're looking at being able to get a net annual income of about £67k.
When you throw in other benefits, such as enhanced pension, training,chance for promotion, redundancy and sick pay, etc, it's not a bad deal.
Oh and North in the OP's case meant "the north of England", not "north of England".The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

£450 a day outside will give you a take home of around £5,590 a month, roughly £67k, not £89k
So, instead of £37k difference, it's more like £15k.
If you want to be outside and taking home £89k, you need to be charing a daily rate of around £650, not £450.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

LondonManc - yes, offer by HMRC, as for working days - all discussed on prev. page,
I'm going with 252 working days this year (Y2020), my £5m insurance/office/accounting cost me £500~£700 a year
(but you can throw in some technology costs topping up to £3K, for instance latest PC/49'' curved monitor),
and agree - as other perks were discussed before..
for me as professional contractor (and company director) - it's all about money on a first place.
for someone else priorities are on a different end of a spectrum (so makes sense switching into "safe" scenario).
"training"? tbh I've never seen any real value in it..Comment

Even if you worked every weekday of the year, £450/day only brings in 450*260 = £117k, before any taxation.
How on earth do you make that equal to £140k?Comment

fidot - previous page, total revenues, days and how much on each (business/personal) tax category (except for CGT, just brought it in by association, should be just div.)Comment
