This question is about apprentice electrician salaries.
How much should a 3rd-year apprentice electrician make?
3rd-year apprentice electricians should make $27.70 an hour, on average. This can range anywhere from $18.01 to $31.98 per year. 3rd-year electrician apprentice wages vary from state to state and are based on a percentage of a Journeyman electrician's hourly pay.
A first-year apprentice will earn at least 40 to 50% of a Journeyman wage, increasing to 50 to 60% for the second year and 70% to 80% for the third year. So, a 3rd-year apprentice working in Seattle, WA, may earn 70% of the Journeyman hourly wage in that area, which is around $45 an hour.
This means a 3rd apprentice would make around $31.50 an hour (70% of $45) compared to a 1st-year apprentice who only makes 40% of $45 and who then earns $16 an hour.
Other factors such as location and company impact how much a 3rd-year apprentice electrician can make.
