Take home more money through Gabem

This is after all the main reason that you're using an Umbrella Company, but how do you go about achieving the pay you want?

Your main saving is going to be down to your ability to claim for the expenses you incur as you work (as much as we would like to take your word on how much you spend, we will of course need receipts to comply with the HMRC regulations. See our expenses section for details). This could be things like tools or travel costs or accommodation and meals if you’re working away from home, as long as your agency isn't refunding them. They can all make a real difference - adding as much as £40 for each £100 of expenses you claim.

That's an important saving, and over the course of a year could result in a significant improvement to what you take home. If you would like a personalised example, you can always use the Gabem Calculator or contact our Operations Team who will be happy to do a calculation for you (no hard sell we promise).

The more expenses you submit the more you will take home. The majority of expenses we receive are for mileage, as going through an umbrella company you are able to claim for travelling to and from where you work, as well as travelling between sites during your day.

On top of your expenses you will also reap the benefit of being able to negotiate a higher rate than you could for just PAYE as they have saved money by not running their own payroll. Why don't you ask your consultant and find out how much you would have been paid per hour PAYE?
