What changes this most?
The contractor day rate must cover non-billable time and business costs as well as replace employee benefits.
Sensitivity check
A roughly 10% move in contractor day rate changes the modeled headline result by up to $5,145 in this setup.
Employment status, taxes, pension, paid leave, insurance and legal obligations vary. Use explicit assumptions and professional advice where appropriate.

Formula
Employee disposable value and contractor disposable value are compared after user-entered deductions, benefits and recurring work costs.
Adjust one assumption at a time to understand which inputs have the greatest effect. Compare several realistic scenarios rather than relying on a single projection.
Default assumptions are maintained by FinTrex and may not reflect current products or rates available to you. Review every input before using the estimate.
