How much do electricians earn on prevailing wage jobs in Indiana?

Every row below is one wage determination line: a electrician classification, in one county, for one construction type, under one funding source. The rate that applies to your project is the row whose county, construction type and funding source all match it — a Highway rate does not apply to a Building project in the same county, and a state determination does not substitute for a federal one.

What does the electrician classification cover?

Electricians install, alter and repair the electrical systems of a project — service entrances, feeders, branch circuits, panelboards, conduit and wiring devices. On Davis-Bacon work the electrician rate is usually one of the highest non-supervisory rates on the determination, and it is frequently split between inside wiremen and outside line construction, which are separate classifications with separate rates.

Work typically covered

  • Conduit and raceway
  • Service and distribution equipment
  • Branch circuit wiring
  • Fire alarm and low voltage
  • Temporary power

Also listed as

  • Inside Wireman
  • Electrician (Lineman)
  • Electrical Worker

Electrician prevailing wage questions

What is the prevailing wage for a electrician in Indiana?

Across the 50 federal-funded determination records WageFinder lists for electricians in Indiana, total prevailing wage runs from $20.88 to $45.29 per hour, median $45.29. There is no single statewide figure: each county's determination sets its own rate, and the same county can carry different rates for Building, Highway, Heavy and Residential work.

Does the electrician rate include benefits?

The total prevailing wage shown is the base hourly rate plus the fringe benefit rate. Of the 50 Indiana records on this page, 50 list a fringe amount separately, with a median of $18.29 per hour — roughly 40% of the median total. The rest list no separate fringe, meaning the base rate is the whole obligation. Fringe can be paid as bona fide benefit plan contributions, as cash added to the paycheck, or as a mix of both.

Which Indiana counties have electrician rates?

This page lists electrician records for 50 counties in Indiana: Allen, Bartholomew, Benton, Boone, Brown, Carroll, Cass, Clark, Clay, Dearborn, Decatur, Delaware, and others. Determinations that apply statewide appear under a statewide entry rather than a named county.

How current are these Indiana electrician rates?

The most recent determination in this set is dated May 18, 2026. WageFinder re-reads the official sources weekly, but the date that matters for compliance is the determination date on the document itself, which is shown on every wage detail page and links back to the government source.
