$48.74 base wage + $49.65 fringe benefits · IRON0498-007

On federally funded or assisted building construction in each of these 23 counties, an ironworker must be paid at least $98.39 an hour: a $48.74 base wage plus $49.65 in fringe benefits, under wage determination WI20260011 (modification 1). DOL prints no total, so $98.39 is our sum of the two.

Wage determination WI20260011, modification 1, published May 18, 2026, for building construction; rate identifier IRON0498-007 (June 1, 2025). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.

Davis-Bacon is the only prevailing wage here (federally funded or assisted work). Wisconsin repealed its local law from January 1, 2017 and its state law for projects bid after September 23, 2017 (2017 Act 59; WisDOT).

Base wage and fringe benefits: $48.74 + $49.65

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.
