I've seen rate cards for quite a few bpo providers and major it body shops, and unless it's like an extreme case (Chennai and one or two other cities), the devs are getting slightly less than 10% of their billed rate, the rest being overhead.

Hell, I look at the delta between what my firm bills me out for and what I take home, and it's about 12% of my fully loaded day rate.

I've seen two type of compensation schemes during my agency years: ~60% take home, but zero during my downtime and around ~15% when I was salaried developer, which make sense as utilization of around 60% was expected.
