IMHO Contracting rates based on GULP are totally BS.
If you make €60K you are very good for beeing a self employed (programmer) and make more money than many not self employed programmers (yes, even when you subtract all taxes, health insurance and your private retirement arrangements).
Specialists in big corporates earn of course more (what GULP is targeting), but then at first place you have to be a specialist and need to have the expertise.
Also don't forget that many people do not have work the whole time... so you have to see the GULP rates also in contrast to gap times where you have no income.
