Rates
A general idea to how I charge for services, whether directly (inside IR35) or as director of my company Solowing Limited (outside IR35). The contract rates below are only applicable for businesses who require contractual services on a direct B2B basis; if you're an agency representative who wishes to promote my services, I'll require that you first consult with myself, should you wish to advertise my rates and services.
Contracting
The following contracting rates should be treated as a guideline only, and are negotiable on a contract-by-contract basis. As a general rule of thumb, conditions which closer match my business brief will place you in a better negotiating position. These rates are set to be competitive based on the median market rate for software development roles, based upon the statistics collected at www.itjobswatch.co.uk. The base rate is also indicative of the minimum possible rate after negotiation.
Current Daily Rates (based on a 7.5 hour day)
- Base Rate: £300 (mandatory)
- Additional Design Requirements: £100
- Additional Management Responsibilities: £100
- Inside-IR35 Modifier: +20% total rate
- Travel Expenses/Overnight Stays: Negotiable
Additional work outside of working hours, such as subject matter research, may be conducted as part of any contract outside of IR35 requirements with no additional charge - provided that it is at my own descretion. Materials necessary for completion of a contract may also be provided to myself for possible review prior to a contract start date, as long as there are no obligations placed on the reviewing of such materials prior to the starting of the contract.
