$39.95 base wage + $11.70 fringe benefits · Public building projects (statewide)
On Wyoming public works in each of these 23 counties, a plumber or pipefitter working as plumbers and pipe fitters must be paid at least $51.65 an hour: a $39.95 base wage plus $11.70 in fringe benefits. DWS prints no total, so $51.65 is our sum of the two.
DWS 2026 rates (effective May 1, 2026); this rate, effective May 1, 2026. The public body gets the rates from DWS before awarding and puts them in the call for bids and the contract, and DWS's finding is final for that contract (W.S. 27-4-405(a)). A May 1 change doesn't reprice a contract already bid. Checked against dws.wyo.gov on October 25, 2026.
DWS lists 2 plumber or pipefitter rates for each of these counties, from $41.78 to $51.65 an hour. See all of them.
- DWS method: wage by weighted average, fringe by weighted average.
Base wage and fringe benefits: $39.95 + $11.70
The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. DWS 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.
| Base wage (taxable) | $39.95 |
| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $11.70 |
| Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DWS prints no total) | $51.65 |
DWS's data note: DWS prints wage and fringe only; total = wage + fringe
When does this rate change?

- The 2026 rates took effect May 1, 2026. DWS publishes notice of new rates each year; objections are due within 15 days (W.S. 27-4-406).
