Daily Rate Quartiles and Market Benchmarks

| Metric | Value | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Median day rate | £280/day | Mid-market advertised pay for this hub |

| Inside IR35 share | 23% | Stated PAYE / umbrella / inside SDS |
| Undetermined IR35 | 32% | Adverts that omit a published status |
| Leading sector | IT (67%) | Largest hiring cluster in the sample |
| Priced sample | 2,809 roles | Postings with a stated day rate in the benchmark dataset |
| Regional rate band | a regional rate discount versus London | Location pricing context, not an SDS |
Statutory Standards and Frequently Asked Questions
Aberdeen does not create a special IR35 code for Test Engineer work. The client SDS should name the Aberdeen workplace and delivery model. An inside finding on a Aberdeen Test Engineer brief typically deducts tax at source, while outside IR35 Test Engineer work in Aberdeen is billed by a PSC. Local pay sits on a regional rate discount versus London, so a higher Aberdeen headline rate can still be inside. Commuting into Aberdeen does not, by itself, prove substitution or lack of control. Read the Test Engineer Aberdeen contract for workplace, hours, and equipment clauses.
