$50.21 base wage + $30.01 fringe benefits · Building

On Connecticut public works in each of these 170 towns, a boilermaker must be paid at least $80.22 an hour: a $50.21 base wage plus $30.01 in benefits. CTDOL prints no total, so $80.22 is our sum of the two.

CTDOL schedules as of July 1, 2026; this rate, effective July 1, 2026. Rates are not fixed for the life of a contract: contractors must adjust wages and benefits every July 1 to CTDOL's new rates (CGS § 31-55a, as amended by PA 25-168). Checked against portal.ct.gov on October 25, 2026.

CTDOL lists 3 boilermaker rates for each of these towns, from $56.49 to $80.22 an hour. See all of them.

CTDOL's online rates are informational. The contracting agency gets a project schedule from CTDOL before advertising, and that schedule, in the bid documents, is the one that applies.

Base wage and fringe benefits: $50.21 + $30.01

The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. CTDOL prints the benefits as one hourly figure, not itemized; it can go to health, pension, vacation and training plans, or be paid as cash where the state allows.
