Our contractor calculator provides an illustration of the maximum amount a contractor could take from their contract when working through their own limited company. It assumes full tax planning and a number of other procedures are in place, some of which are quite complex and are best discussed directly with your accountant.
Typically, contractors working through their own limited company take home between 75% and 80% of their contract value.
If you are thinking of contracting through your own company, read our new straightforward guide on How to Contract through your own Limited Company . You'll be surprised how little time it takes and just how easy it is.
