in line with a gross nearer to £2000 than £1800  perhaps something to do with being through umbrella I am not well acquainted with these systems.

Im a contractor and I received my first pay - day rate 450; 

£450 per day.
£2,250 per week.
Deductions for umbrella margin, something to a pension, employer's NI, apprenticeship levy.
Gross of around £2k would not be far off.
