Finding the best Umbrella Company with the most reasonable fees (margin) can seem like a tedious and daunting task. However, Umbrella Company UK can assist you through the selection process by making it as simple as possible.

 

What are Umbrella fees?

Umbrella company fees are most commonly known as margins, which are usually set accordingly between you, your agency and your chosen Umbrella Company. It can vary depending on your agreement, but it is usually £20-£30 per week.

Your Umbrella Company will make the deductions for you, so once you receive your payslip, that is your final salary. This includes deductions such as tax, National Insurance and the umbrella company margin, as the umbrella company acts as your employer and you are effectively their employee.
