DLI sets the same glazier rates, row for row, in 14 counties: Beaverhead, Broadwater, Deer Lodge, Glacier, Granite, Jefferson, Lewis and Clark, Liberty, Madison, Pondera, Powell, Silver Bow, Teton and Toole. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.

$30.39an hour, base + benefit

$25.32 wage + $5.07 benefits · District 2 (Butte and Helena)

On Montana public works in each of these 14 counties, a glazier must be paid at least $30.39 an hour: a $25.32 base wage plus $5.07 in benefits. DLI prints no total, so $30.39 is our sum of the two.

DLI 2026 rates, revised April 25, 2026; this rate, effective April 25, 2026. "The wage rates applicable to a particular public works project are those in effect at the time the bid specifications are advertised" (ARM 24.17.127). Checked against erd.dli.mt.gov on October 25, 2026.

Base wage and benefits: $25.32 + $5.07

The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. DLI 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.

Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized)	$5.07
Base + benefits (our sum; DLI prints no total)	$30.39

Davis-Bacon glazier rates in these counties

The counties share DLI's rates, but not always the same federal wage determination. Montana's law doesn't apply where federal law sets the rate, so a Davis-Bacon job uses the federal schedule (DLI FAQ).

When this rate changes

Montana rates lock when the bid specifications are advertised, so a later revision doesn't change an advertised project (ARM 24.17.127; section E of each 2026 schedule). Contracts of more than 30 months add 3% a year (MCA 18-2-417).
DLI sets rates once a year and revises them mid-year when needed. The 2026 rates were revised effective April 25, 2026; the 2027 drafts are out for comment until November 15, 2026 (DLI rates page).
