What is the average salary of a first-year plumber's apprentice?

Answer 1

As a Union Sprinklerfitter, who is in a related field, I can let you know what our program is, which is very close to a plumber's program. An apprentice program is a five year program. First year apprentices make approximately 45 percent of what a journeymen plumber makes. Note that a journeymen plumber can make more or less per hour depending on what part of the country and area market conditions are. In my area, journeymen make anywhere from 35 to 42 dollars per hour, depending on the trade. In other parts of the country, this could be 30 to 50 percent less per hour, because local market conditions dictate wages. In my area, we have a stronger union representation; in other right to work states, people make less. (nuff on the political stuff.) If the apprentice does satisfactory in his performance, he or she is entitled to a raise in pay every six months. The raise is about 5 percent more of journeymen's rate. so for example if a journeymen makes 40 per hour, an apprentice in his first year can make 15 to 20 per hour. (45 to 50 percent of journeymen's rate.)

Answer 2

Depending where you are in Canada wages can range from $12 per hour to $25 per hour.

I just moved to Edmonton from Toronto where I was offered $12 to start to where I am currently being offered $21 to start with raise after 3 months.

It goes by the % of the lowest paid journey mans wage.

1st year is 40%

2nd year is 50%

3rd year is 60%

4th year is 70%

5th year is 85%

Journey man license is 100%
