What a Gibraltar contractor day rate is worth as a permanent salary
If you're considering a move from contracting into permanent employment in Gibraltar, comparing your day rate to a salary figure isn't as simple as multiplying by your usual billable days — employment brings a lower 10% social insurance rate plus benefits like paid holiday that a day rate has to price in for itself. This calculator converts your day rate into an equivalent salary.
What the conversion takes into account
- Your day rate and the number of days you currently bill per year
- The lower 10% employee social insurance rate (capped at £2,227.13/year) that would apply as an employee, instead of the 20% self-employed rate
- The value of paid holiday and sick pay that a permanent role includes but a contract rate does not
- Income tax under the lower of ABS or GIBS, applied consistently to both figures
