$74.22an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum)

$44.48 base wage + $29.74 fringe benefits · Building

On Connecticut public works in each of these 147 towns, a carpenter must be paid at least $74.22 an hour: a $44.48 base wage plus $29.74 in benefits. CTDOL prints no total, so $74.22 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 7 carpenter rates for each of these towns, from $40.74 to $75.22 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: $44.48 + $29.74

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.

Base wage (taxable)$44.48
Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized)$29.74

Davis-Bacon carpenter rates in these counties

The counties share CTDOL's rates, but not always the same federal wage determination. When a contract requires both the state rate and the Davis-Bacon rate, paying the higher of the two meets both. The contract documents say which apply.
