Well upfront was (as I understood it) a fact finding conversation. I wasn't even sure that they would use me so I just gave them a daily rate as a quick guide. We were discussing other things at the time. The incidental, travel costs etc only really have become apparent since I've added them up against a low daily rate.
There are other reasons why I took the work on - so it's not all financial. The problem is that when everything is added up it's less easy to hide the extra costs when your margins have been cut by a low rate. I know it's my mistake in the sense that a higher daily rate would have covered things comfortably, but that's not where I'm at.
