How does Witted Mavericks work?

How does Witted Mavericks work?

Our consultants’ salaries are based on the revenue they bring in. Consultants' salaries comprise 70% of their invoicing; 50.7% of the invoicing is spent directly on the consultant's salary and the remaining 20% on their holiday pay and other employer costs.


We aim to find projects that enable a monthly salary between 8,500 – 9,200 EUR per month (based on full-time hours). The usual weekly working time at Witted Mavericks is 37.5 hours and the normal working day of a consultant does not include overtime or on-call work. This helps to support work-life balance and the well-being of consultants.

Our projects usually last about a year. If the consultant does not have a new project lined up immediately after the old one is finished, the minimum salary of 3000 EUR/month will protect them. Our salary model is the same for everyone. It's not based on gender, where you live, loudest voice, friendships or anything else that's irrelevant to the job.

Witted Mavericks Salary Model Breakdown

The salary model is what sets Witted Mavericks apart from mainstream software consultancies. 70% of the invoicing generated by the consultant is used to pay the consultant’s salary. This excludes holidays and personnel expenses, the rest is paid as salary. This means that the holiday compensation and the bonus holiday pay are paid according to the average salary for the current holiday season. For example, let’s set the Witted Mavericks compensation calculator to 158 h for billable hours per month, and 100 EUR for the hourly rate. Both, by the way, are fully achievable amounts. The calculation will look like this:

The 8009.85 EUR would be the monthly salary when there are no absences. The gross salary to be paid is 50.7% of the consultant’s invoicing. The holiday and sick leave periods are paid according to average earnings (base salary + commission). Roughly speaking, if you invoice an average of 8000 EUR / month when you are fully employed, you will also receive the same salary when you are ill or on holiday. This means that short sick leaves or annual holidays do not reduce one’s income. In practice income behaves the same way as when raising a fixed monthly salary. Of course, one also gets extra money for their holiday (bonus holiday pay) as you usually do in Finland.

The Witted Mavericks’ business model also allows paying various revenue based bonuses. The “company’s” share is 30%, which is spent for paying outsourced administrative services, occupational health services, tools and other purchased services. Sales and recruitment commissions are also paid from that 30%. This simply means that when a consultant sells a gig to themselves or another Mavericks consultant, they are the seller and is then entitled to a sales commission for the gig.

Responsibility

Witted Mavericks consultants are experienced professionals who take responsibility for their own work on client projects.

With their professional skills, our consultants build a mutual relationship of trust, within which they work on a daily basis.

The working model (onsite, hybrid, full remote) is agreed upon by project. If problems arise in client's project, the Witted Mavericks backoffice team will support the consultants to find a solution.
