Contract median

≈ 112 860 € gross a year
At a median 513 €/day, contract work grosses about 112 860 € a year over 220 billable days, 88% more than the 60 000 € 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 DevOps & CI/CD Engineer contract rates and contractor take-home →
