EUR per day, before tax
If you billed it
- 8,400 EUR a month
- 92,400 EUR a year
- 63,000 EUR equivalent salary
At 20 billable days a month and 220 a year — all before tax. The salary figure is what a comparable permanent role costs an employer, not what you would take home: a permanent employee is paid through holiday, sickness and the gaps between projects. Nothing here is tax advice and no deduction has been applied.
How that figure was reached
| Base rate for this role | 600 | |
|---|---|---|
| Experience | 0–2 years | × 0.70 |
| Region | Western Europe | × 1.00 |
| Work arrangement | Hybrid | × 1.00 |
| SAP certifications | None | × 1.00 |
| Contract type | Time & materials | × 1.00 |
| Recommended day rate | rounded to the nearest 5 | 420 |
The low and high figures are 12% below and 15% above the recommended rate. That spread is a fixed proportion, not a statistic — it is there because a single number is a negotiating position nobody can use.

This is the other answer to the same question, and it is deliberately kept separate from the one above: the figure on the left is our model, the figure here is evidence. Where they disagree, the evidence is the interesting one.
What this is
An editorial model published under our own name: a base rate per role, moved by five documented factors. It is not a survey, it does not know your client, your notice period or your negotiating position, and it answers in euros before tax wherever you are. Nothing you typed here was stored.
