Readier reckoner

The Freelance Ready Reckoner for 2007-8 is now updated and online. In four simple columns it gives a chilling insight into how much we save clients by taking on work as freelances, and how much we should charge to arrive at what it would cost them to employ salaried, in-house staff instead.
