Prevailing wage labor cost calculator

Pick the state, county and trade, then set the crew and the job dates. In California the estimate uses DIR's 2026-2 rates and adds any increase DIR has already scheduled during the job. In Illinois and Washington it uses the current IDOL and L&I rates for straight time only.

This covers the prevailing wage itself: wages plus fringe benefits. Payroll taxes, workers' comp, insurance and overhead are on top. Rates checked October 24, 2026.
