Permanent median
$122,000
$86,709 take-home
Contract median
$92/hour
≈ $169,280 gross a year
At a median $92/hour, contract work grosses about $169,280 a year over 1,840 billable hours (230 days), 39% more than the $122,000 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 Network & Cloud Connectivity Engineer contract rates and contractor take-home →
