242 live contracts with Interim in the job title are on the board now, with sector, IR35 and day-rate filters.
Where these figures come from
Every figure on this page is computed from the contracts live on the ContractorUK jobs board with Interim in the job title, advertised at a day or weekly rate. The median and quartiles use the advertised rate of each listing, midpoint where a range is given; weekly rates are divided to a day equivalent, and hourly or salaried listings are excluded rather than converted. Advertised rates are asking prices rather than settled contracts, so treat them as a guide.
