Each page below converts a day rate to an annual figure (rate × 220 working days), shows the PAYE / inside-IR35 take home from income tax and National Insurance, and compares it with the outside-IR35 position and the permanent salary equivalent. For a custom figure use the IR35 calculator or contractor vs permanent calculator.
