Contract median

≈ $149,040 gross a year

At a median $81/hour, contract work grosses about $149,040 a year over 1,840 billable hours (230 days), 35% more than the $110,000 permanent median. That premium has to pay for what an employer would otherwise cover: paid holiday and sick days, pension contributions, and the gaps between contracts.

Contract and permanent benchmarks come from separate samples, so treat the gap as a guide rather than a like-for-like quote. See BI Developer contract rates and contractor take-home →
