Comparing two Gibraltar contracting offers on net income, not just day rate

A higher day rate doesn't always mean a better outcome once contract length, expected downtime between contracts, and social insurance are taken into account. This calculator compares two Gibraltar contracting offers side by side on actual net income rather than the headline rate.

What's compared
