Costs

Fixed or Variable, what suits you?

Crystal Umbrella is designed to suit your individual requirements. Whether you need weekly or monthly payments, we have a solution for you.

Crystal Umbrella offers a fixed rate administration charge as well as a percentage based charge. The reasons for this are that many other umbrella companies will charge you an entire week's fee when the contract may be your second job and you might only work 1 or 2 days a week.

This is where our percentage charging structure comes into its own. No matter how many days you work you only pay the percentage of the invoice total and not the whole week.

To further enhance your return we claim back the tax on our administration charge, this means that although we deduct our gross fee, the actual cost to you is somewhat lower, see the table below for full details.
