Contract or Permie is an online salary calculator designed specifically for the Australian job market. It helps job seekers and recruiters clearly compare the pay differences between contract roles and permanent employment. It addresses the common pain point of making direct comparisons between “daily-rate contracting” and “packaged annual salary” arrangements.
Features and Use Cases: The tool’s core function is to convert annual salaries, with or without superannuation, into equivalent daily contract rates, and vice versa. It does more than simple multiplication and division: it takes into account Australian workplace specifics, such as 2026 public holidays in New South Wales (NSW), the 12% superannuation rate for the 2025–2026 financial year, and deductions for annual leave and sick leave. Its most practical feature is the introduction of a “risk premium” concept, which compensates for the hidden costs contractors face from lacking paid leave and job security.
Supported Languages/Frameworks: A pure front-end web application that requires no installation and works across platforms.
Open Source and Self-Hosting: Closed source with no self-hosting option; it is a typical standalone utility.
API/SDK and Integrations: None are provided, so it cannot connect with other HR or finance systems.
Documentation Quality: There is no separate documentation, but the page itself clearly explains its assumptions, such as the definition of risk premium and the logic used to calculate working days. This is sufficient to guide users in using the tool correctly.
Completely free to use, with no paywall or subscription plan.
Its strengths are its strong focus and ability to solve a key pain point for job seekers in Australia: evaluating the premium required for contract work. It automates calculations involving superannuation, leave deductions, and risk premium. Its drawbacks are its very narrow geographic scope—it is only applicable to Australia, with public holiday assumptions weighted toward NSW—along with its single-purpose nature and lack of extensibility or integration capabilities.
IT contractors, full-time employees, and recruiters looking for opportunities in Australia, especially job seekers who need to compare different employment arrangements across multiple offers.
As a lightweight static web page, it is directly accessible from China, with no network or payment restrictions. It may be useful as a reference for people in China planning to work in Australia, but there is no direct domestic alternative because it is tightly tied to the Australian tax and employment system.
