≈ 1 582 240 kr gross a year
At a median 7 192 kr/day, contract work grosses about 1 582 240 kr a year over 220 billable days, 104% more than the 776 000 kr 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.
