Base wage and fringe benefits: $24.83 + $5.07

| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $5.07 |
| Base + benefits (our sum; DLI prints no total) | $29.90 |
When does this rate change?
- 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).
