The BAJR 'rate' ie... teh one that ensures you don't fall below what you would get as an employed person is this rule of thumb
and of course a self employed person should have a damn sight more than 6 month exp... to be able to charge themselves out (though of course it is up to you)
G3 = 110-120 G3/4 120-150 G4 150-170
these are my figures.. and the rub of being self employed is you can charge what you like... so you could go in at 50 quid a week if you wanted to. welcome to the world of bids and undercuts... no wonder we are in the state we are in
Remember you have no holidays no sickness and no pension, you will have to provide more and be competent enough to act as a sub contractor - which may require you to complete a task even if it is over the hours you would normally work. There is such a thing as labour-only self employed... so find out which you are .... self employed (in which case... are you insured? ) OR (labour only)
