DOL sets the same carpet and soft floor layer rates, row for row, in 2 counties: Frederick and Prince George's. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.

$50.43an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum) · CARPET LAYER

On Maryland public works in each of these 2 counties, a carpet and soft floor layer working as carpet layer must be paid at least $50.43 an hour: a $35.10 base wage plus $15.33 in fringe benefits. DOL prints no total, so $50.43 is our sum of the two.

Maryland informational rates as printed October 25, 2026. A determination applies to a project advertised before it expires, and mid-year changes apply only to newly issued determinations (SFP 17-209; DOL FAQ #47). Checked against labor.maryland.gov on October 25, 2026.

DOL lists 4 carpet and soft floor layer rates for each of these counties, from $50.43 to $50.43 an hour. See all of them.

These are DOL's informational rates. The binding rates are in the project's wage determination, in the bid documents.

Base wage and fringe benefits: $35.10 + $15.33

The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. DOL prints the fringe 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)	$35.10
Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized)	$15.33
Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total)	$50.43

When does this rate change?

A determination applies to a project whose call for bids is published before it expires. Mid-year changes apply only to newly issued determinations: "Wage determinations that have already been issued will not be affected" (SFP 17-209(c)(4); DOL notice).
DOL publishes rates on or about December 1 each year, effective for one year, and adds supplemental rates in between (DOL FAQ #11, #20). The portal prints no issue or effective date, so this page shows the date it was printed.
