Is 450 pounds per day normal for IT contracter? |
I'm Japanese who's been living abroad for more than 12 years. I've been proposed by my bf I met in UK last week, and though I'm happy, I'm very worried by how he works as a contract worker. In my country, contract workers recieve the same or less amount than full time workers, hoping to become one themselves. I heard contract workers in UK earn more, but is 450 daily usual, or low? Is it enough to have kids and have familly in future? I don't know anything about earning in UK, and if I'll move, I have to find a job myself but I'm doubting I can get a job that will cover the rents... Also I'm worried about the class system in UK. He is definately in the working class, where I think I'm in middle...from what I'm guessing from the lifestyle differences. I know I love him, I'm just worried about the future realisticly. I am astonished at the poor quality answers!!! No offence meant of course. 拢450 a day is ok. Actually I charge 拢400 per day (not IT but engineering in general). But I am not getting 拢400 every day! And I have rent, telephone, internet, heating, lighting, literature, postage, advertisng etc etc. So I am not living on 拢450. Thats what the business earns not me. (And by the way is about $2 = 拢1 whoever said that its $1.50). And also for every 1 hour i work tehre are 1-2 more for sales and admin. It's about the middle. Remember that you have to find accomodation and food out of that rate. Tax is another issue. But to answer your question it is normal. I'm assuming it's GBP you're talking about. Contracted over 20 years. Work on Control systems. Overseas If you stated right, thats about $3375 American dollars a week. (assuming he doesn't work weekends). If you cant live with kids on $175,000 a year, you're in trouble. Note: This is under the assumption of your 450 pounds PER DAY and giving the value of 1 pound = $1.50 US Dollars omg...450 pounds aday...thats loadssss people normally on a good salary may get that in a week...so thatsd great |
