Contract median
€373/day
≈ €82,060 gross a year
At a median €373/day, contract work grosses about €82,060 a year over 220 billable days, 30% more than the €63,000 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 Data Analyst contract rates and contractor take-home →
