Inside IR35 Rates vs Equivalent Perm Salary
Collapse

I'd suggest £500 /day (inside IR35, via brolly, 220 days works per year) is equivalent to ~£86k /year perm job.
I use (£500 * 220 * 0.53), then pump gross pay figures into an online calculator until you reach the take-home pay:

This question comes up time and again and I always see low perm salaries being given out by posters
If you have a 500 per day outside role then that is equivalent to 100k perm easily assuming 220 days after tax if you run the ltd properly. In fact I would say it was even more then 100kComment

Hard to compare but if trying, everything should be computed and compare on same role.
So permanent basic salary+holidays+pension+Bonus+ benefits (PMI, life insurance etc...) + job security VERSUS Day rate inside IR35 + insecurity.
In my humble opinion, a day rate inside IR35 not topped up by client/agency to cover Employer's NI + Levy is less worthy than a perm job.Comment

Originally posted by CatOnMat View PostJust worth noting that in the first couple of years job security in so-called "perm" jobs is usually rather overstated - while there is at least a paid notice period (unlike for contractors where the client could simply ask them not to work and/or not sign timesheets), employees can generally only claim unfair dismissal against an employer if they have a minimum of two years’ service.
Then when a client needs to get rid of permies, there will be usually a plan.
Worst case the perm is out because his performances are inadequate. I have seen that but in that case the permy had started only few months ago in that company.Comment

In the old days I'd have said contracting had more job security as gigs came more or less end to end where as a perm gets canned and it can be difficult to get another role. Things have changed now for both types of work. I think it's not as clear cut anymore. Perms are being let go and contractors are spending increasing amounts of time on the bench so not the best time to be trying to argue which is most secure.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Originally posted by malvolio View PostAs has been said, there is no meaningful answer, but if your gross salary is £90k and your umbrella invoices £90k a year plus their fees on your behalf, then they should net out to the same.
If a permie accepts a salary of 90k then that does not include Employers NI and they don't have to worry about it. Whereas the Contractor through the Umbrella Company has to effectively pay that Employer NI .... basically the contractor is employing an employer (Umbrella Company) who make it appear that the Umbrella Company is paying the Employer NI but its the contractor actually paying it.
I would have though that a permie salary of £90K is way better than a contractor invoicing his Umbrella Company for £90k ... apart from the employer NI, there are pensions and maybe bonus's involved?
Apologies if I have misunderstood.Last edited by mogga71; 17 February 2021, 12:13.Comment
