Questions people ask
- Why 45 weeks and not 52?
- Salaried roles include paid leave and public holidays, so you work fewer weeks than you are paid for. 45 is a reasonable starting point for Norway; using 52 understates your effective hourly rate.
- How big should a contract premium be?
- Between 20% and 50% over the salaried equivalent, depending on how much of the benefits package, pension and idle time you absorb yourself.
