With an annual salary of $80,000 USD, your take home pay every month, i.e. NET pay, would be approximately $4,200.

consultancies are going to take 25% of the billing rate(billing rate depends on the project for java it ranges from $50-$80) and 75% to consultant.

I presume you mean 75% to you, not 75% to the consultant ? 75% of $50 is $37.50, and over a 37½ hour week that comes to $73125 per annum to you. Obviously you have to pay tax etc., on that.

Doesn't it really depend on the company? And your definition of what is better?

If your definition of better is to maximize income, then if the company can keep your schedule filled, then the first, otherwise the later. If your definition is stability of income, then probably the later, if you can afford to take a risk of no income for the short term, then the first.

All in all, we don't have the best information on the situation, nor information on your definition of better. You are the best person to make that decision -- but something tells me that you already know that.

Please describe how you will know how much the consultancy charges a particular client. This is an important detail. Especially since the rates you mention above are so extemely low.

Will the consultancy actually charge clients $150 per hour and make it so that only you are told that it is $60 per hour (and the rest are classified as administration fees?)

Assuming that you don't have to stay in bench and on an average you work for 8 hours/day and 20 days a month.If the client pays your employer around 55-56$/hour then after taking of 25% share your annual compensation would be $80k ..

Try to find out how much the client pays your employer..If it more than 60-65$/hour and if you feel you wont have to stay in bench for long,then I would suggest A 75-25% arrangement,else go for $80k
