≈ 1 458 380 kr gross a year
At a median 6 629 kr/day, contract work grosses about 1 458 380 kr a year over 220 billable days, 114% more than the 681 000 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.
Contract and permanent benchmarks come from separate samples, so treat the gap as a guide rather than a like-for-like quote. See Full-Stack Engineer (React / Next.js / TypeScript) contract rates and contractor take-home →
