$34.24 base wage + $22.93 fringe benefits · District 4 (Billings, Miles City and Sidney)

On Montana public works in each of these 21 counties, a roofer must be paid at least $57.17 an hour: a $34.24 base wage plus $22.93 in benefits. DLI prints no total, so $57.17 is our sum of the two.

Davis-Bacon roofer 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).
