I found the yearly take home for outside IR35 contracts is around 220 * day rate, inside is 200. I did find recently that the contract rates have gone down a lot, and the full time salaries increased - so I'm back perm after about 8 years, and am better off having done so. I found jobserve.co.uk good for contract roles though

Edit: I can't read. If only my client knew!

£220/day?!

I've not paid a developer less than 600/day since like 2015 and that is outside London too.

Some people are being taken for mugs.

No - take your day rate, multiply by 220. That's what you'd expect to make a year
Ah yes that sounds about right.
The benefit really depends on the rate. When you get near the 1000/day range outside becomes far more lucrative than inside due to the flexibility it gives you for tax planning, as you can defer personal income to a future date where it can be taken in a more tax-favourable way (eg via SIPP or BADR).
