Contract median
389 €/day
≈ 85 580 € gross a year
At a median 389 €/day, contract work grosses about 85 580 € a year over 220 billable days, 75% more than the 49 000 € 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 Salesforce / CRM Architect contract rates and contractor take-home →
