Against the United Kingdom rate
The typical rate in London is £30 an hour against £25 nationally: +20%. Tasks that are remote pay the national rate for the company's location, so a remote task can pay more than a local one.
The same rules apply to every task, so they live on two pages: Pricing explains the 15% fee, prepayment and when you are paid; How it works covers matching, what a company sees and side work next to a job.
