Fees
As a self-employed person, you have to make agreements with customers and subcontractors on the provision of services. Always make sure to make written agreements stating the service to be provided, the price of the work, the deadlines agreed and where the work is to be performed.
When you set your fee, there are many factors you need to consider.
Djøf does not have a fixed recommended rate for self-employed. However, when you set your fee as self-employed or freelancer, you need to remember that the fee is to cover everything that is included in a fixed salary, i.e. pension, holiday, public holidays, sickness, sick child, supplementary training, maternity/paternity leave, administration and gaps between jobs.
Based on a calculation of those elements, Djøf Privat has made a recommended calculation factor for tasks paid on a fee basis corresponding to twice the hourly rate received by a permanent employee in the relevant industry sector. See more about salaries on Djøf's salary pages.
If, as a self-employed person, you have overhead expenses for e.g. rent, office supplies, employees, etc., such costs should be added to the calculation factor on a pro-rata basis.
