≈ 1 819 400 kr gross a year
At a median 8 270 kr/day, contract work grosses about 1 819 400 kr a year over 220 billable days, 110% more than the 868 000 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.
