COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Is a contractor day rate the same as a salary?

No. The result is only a gross mathematical equivalent and does not value holiday pay, pension, benefits, expenses or employment rights.

Does it include tax?

No. It is a gross figure before tax and other deductions.

Why is the default less than 52 paid weeks?

The default leaves room for unpaid time, but you can enter the paid weeks that match your situation.

Can I model part-time day-rate work?

Yes. Adjust paid days per week and paid weeks per year.
