At a median €925/day, contract work grosses about €203,500 a year over 220 billable days, 21% more than the €168,000 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.
