The Rebuild
Built by trades. For trades.
Where It Goes
Your local quotes a "total package" — one big hourly number. This tool splits it apart so you can see exactly how much is wage, how much is health, how much is retirement, and what actually lands in your check after tax.
Package Components ($/hr)
Gross Wage
The taxable hourly pay that hits your check before deductions.
Health & Welfare
Medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family.
Pension
Defined-benefit retirement paid by the employer into your union pension fund.
Annuity / 401(k)
Your individual retirement account that grows with every hour worked.
Training Fund
Pays for your apprenticeship school, classes, and upgrade training.
Other / Dues
Working dues, PAC, or other fund contributions.
Components match your total package
Per-Hour Breakdown
What Hits Your Check
Net Wage / hr (after 28% tax)
$32.40
Net Wage / year
$64,800
Tax estimate is a rough flat rate. Your real take-home depends on filing status, state, and deductions. The benefit and retirement dollars are pre-tax and land in your funds, not your check.
Where to find your numbers
Your local publishes a wage sheet showing the total package and every contribution line. Ask your business agent, check the hall bulletin board, or look on your local's website. Plug those numbers in here to see the breakdown.
