Permanent salary or contract?

Contract median

≈ $165,600 gross a year

At a median $90/hour, contract work grosses about $165,600 a year over 1,840 billable hours (230 days), 45% more than the $114,000 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 SOC Analyst contract rates and contractor take-home →
