Assignment rate versus taxable gross pay

The assignment rate is the agency or client contract value. Umbrella margin and employer-related costs are funded before the taxable employee gross pay is calculated, so taxable gross pay can be materially lower than assignment income.

FAQ

Does the tax code change the calculation?

The tax code is displayed as an assumption. This calculator uses the configured standard personal allowance for the selected tax year.

Is holiday pay deducted twice?

No. Holiday pay is shown as an assumption marker so you can discuss retained or rolled-up treatment with the umbrella company.
