## FAQ

### How many working hours are in a year?

Around 2,080 on paper — 40 hours for 52 weeks — but 1,880 is more realistic once statutory holiday and public holidays are removed. Which figure a converter uses changes an hourly rate by roughly 10%.

### Why is a contractor rate higher than the salary equivalent?

Because it must also cover holiday, sickness, pension, equipment, insurance and gaps between contracts. A rough rule is that a contract day rate needs to be about 1.5 to 2 times the salaried equivalent to leave the same take-home.
