Wages for different trades

Sort by date Sort by votes
Got them from the website i linked to. It's set by the users of it. So i assume fairly average.

You can compare yourself to others in your field and in your area etc

That has surprised me, not too sure if I trust the results. Certainly in my area plumbers, or rather "Gas Engineers" command more money than sparkies.

Well not sure what the minimum wage is but I do know that the electrical trade has never been particularly well paid....would love to hear from anyone who earnes the large amounts claimed and find out how they do it.

Are you employed or self employed?

If you are employed the minimum wage is £7.50 per hour which equates to about £14K before tax... so after tax about £12K or £1000.00 per month

I work for a company but we are all required to be self employed as limited companies so we have to supply our own vans. we are paid on a pay when paid basis which seems normal now and

Well a little too late for me I think at my time of life, but it is something that the younger generation of wanabe sparks should be aware of before choosing a job

my 1st year apprentice takes home more than 8K a year...Your take home equates to around £150 a week...that cant be right?

Why don't you just go and 'stack shelves' at Tesco for significantly more than £8k take home per annum.

I'm struggling to believe this to be honest. If you're set up as a limited company paying for vans, tools etc etc and all the associated hassle then £20k take home should be an absolute minimum requirement or you may as well go and work for someone else IMO.

Well I guess that's what they think we are worth

I doubt it, they should expect to pay an absolute minimum £18 per hour, for a fully qualified sub contractor, and that is still cheap! I know of one electrician who charges £16 p/h and he is flat out busy! But he only does domestic and supplies nothing but himself and a few tools.
