@@michaelallen1154that’s the most common thing I hear, just read the Bible and you’ll see why he made hell
$1700 a week is damn good money, even $1400 a week AFTER taxes is great. But doing the math here if you were to work 50 hours a week for the entire year your gross would be $152,412 to a net of $88,712. That is a definitely a big chunk off lol.
exactly lol
Your maths off bud. With that being said that's shit money depending on the area. My normal check is 1510.00 on 40 at 26...

@@bigluda20sure it is
You would prolly get a nice tax refund though (i would hope)
I know I’m
Late finding your channel but this channel is one of the most realistic electrician channels.
Thanks, I really appreciate it 🙏🏼❤️
Good job brother spreading out the good vibe union is the way to go
☺️
im happy for you, and more angry at the taxes. you and Mad Electrician have gotten me interested in trying to work up north after I can become a journeymen electrician
If the rest of the year is not 50-hour weeks, you will get a tax refund.
Great job brother!!!!! Thank you for sharing this
sure thing! posting another one tonight from 2024 :)
Hello! Thanks for making taking the time to make these videos. I really appreciate the insight from someone who has experience in this field. I am trying to get into the trade and recently applied to my local union. My question is not really relevant to this video specifically, but I just decided that I would comment here since this is your most recent video.
In one of your older videos (where you were reflecting on having been in the trade for 9 or so years--don't exactly remember how many years it was), you mentioned that if you could go back knowing what you do now that you probably wouldn't pursue being an electrician because you would prefer to do something with your mind rather than your body (I do understand, however, that you weren't by any means bashing the trade nor were you saying that you generally dislike the work you do). That comment stuck out to me and concerned me a bit because part of the reason why I'm interested in pursuing this field is because I've been told that it can require a lot of problem solving and that it can, in that capacity, I guess you could say, be intellectually challenging. Do you disagree with that? I guess I just wanted some clarification (if possible) or more insight on whether or not you think that being an electrician requires you to use your brain/think critically on a regular basis. Thanks!
I’m a 2nd year apprentice in the union here in Salt Lake City. The truth is, at least so far, yes, there is PLENTY of problem solving and use of math completely depending on what you are doing. There are indeed some aspects of the commercial side that can be monotonous if you are doing the same thing for a while. Good thing about the union is technically, you can follow whatever kind of work suits you best. You aren’t technically tied to any one employer. Service work can have problem solving, and if elaborate enough, pipe bending can be constant problem solving. Especially if you are making the decisions of what the pipe does and how it gets to its destination. Being a Foreman or GF involves problem solving cuz you are the one who answers the tricky questions! I’ve heard “PLC” work can also be engaging but most of that work would be non union I gather, which is fine and could eventually earn you well over 100k I’ve heard and without working all that over time to get it. Network! Talk to people in the industry and all their friends until you find what fuels you. That’s my advice. But don’t hesitant just jump in, get started, get your journey card and then the doors are wide open! There’s plenty of great paying niches to make money in if you have a good head on your shoulders and will work hard. Keep in mind the internet doesn’t always represent what you can actually make in this industry. Sub techs for example can make lineman wages in some areas.
@@samuelcloward241 quick question from someone interested in the trade. What is PLC? And why does it pay so well?
Snibbler paid weekly 1706.00$ that’s over 6 grand a month u can live comfortably on that
who said i couldnt?
Add dependants for a breakeven at the end of the year or write off as much as you can 💯
I gotta get into the union haha thanks for sharing
1700 in one week ? Damn bro $$$$ I wish I’m able to make that much I live in Fresno ca and next year I should get my a.s degree in electrical then plan to major in electrical engineering. But I hope to make that much right now I only making 16.60 an hour 🤦♂️
It doesn’t make a difference tbh. I make 2k-3k net. I just quit my job because I’m losing interest being an electrician
@@ty-ex1vb what do you do now?
@@maplesm1274 I’m doordashing on the side since I live in a major city I make 1000 a week, enjoying it so far.
@@ty-ex1vb what was your job?
@@jkey3835 I was traveling, last job site was Montana.
When I work 84 hours at 32 a hour I gross about $4,150. Take home $3,030. Taxes kill me and i don’t pay dues or anything just taxes and they take like $1100. Taxes are the devil and yes overtime is a scam. On the last day of the 7 day work week the entire days is for uncle same. The day before that too
Once you file them taxes you get it back
nope, just did my taxes and only got 967 back.
you get like 12-25% back
You’re losing me on the overtime being a scam part. Naturally you’ll pay more in taxes as you move up in bracket. But surely you bring home more with overtime than without. Do you have to pay into a vacation fund? And if you’re getting a rather large tax return then you’re overpaying the government
What state ?
Someone that makes 35 hr and works 79 regular hours and 7 overtime hours for a total of 86 hours grossing 3132.50 only takes home 2235.73. More hourly then you and more hours worked takes home less?? In California, claim 1 on taxes as himself only dependent 😮 wth!!
58 hours in local "economic harm" 11 nets 1800, you're lucky.
🙏🏼
Does working as a CW for local 11 get you a better chance of getting an inside wireman apprenticeship? I’ve applied but since they say your application is only good for 2 years mine expired and i don’t want to keep getting rejected.
Does local 11 trybto keep CWs working in that spot longer for a while w/o offering them a spot in the apprenticeship just to keep paying them low wages?
So that's one week? That's actually a lot . Depends on where you live I guess.
yeah, one week.
His 1 week paid same as my 3 weeks 12 hours a night 6 nights a week. As a nurse assistance.
That Sucks but that’s my 2 weeks gross as a private 4 1/2 year electrician
I made more as a carpenter at 23 an hour that perdiem was what helped
heck yeah
Thank you for sharing we appreciate your videos
Be grateful you’re making way more money than me. Your check is like two checks of mine. What you making one week is what I make 2 1/2 weeks
I'm grateful for the money, just not the taxes 🙏🏼
thats like 7300 a month real good in my area but cost of living probably much higher where u live
Do you know how hard it is for a lot of people it’s only 1700 It takes me a year to a couple of months to make $1000 but I’m about to become a electrician
Seriously. 1700 a week is nice. This dude sounds like a crybaby
k
Was that bad the payment as an apprentice?
Hey man $1700 a week ain’t bad - yea or sucks because it could be better if you didn’t have to give the federal government so much for our stupid defense budget, but for reference as an engineer my 80 hour paychecks are about 2450 after taxes and retirement contributions
80 hours??? Goddamn. I make that on five 10s and an 8(not counting all my benefits). In Georgia aka The South.....wtf? Thank you. I was thinking about going back to school but fuck it.
yeah for sure
Engineers are normally lower than Journeyman electricians.
@@obeyobet2952 yea like a 2 week paycheck, 80 hours regular time not any OT.
@@obeyobet2952 I was giving you more context, not trying to compete on who makes more. But my salary broke down by hour is still higher than what you just stated, so no I actually make more. Get fucked
Thank you.
Thank you.
Overtime looks like $80per hour but is actually $20per hour. 😮💨
holy fuck cant we all get together and protest against taxes? thats how america started anyways
Overtime gets taxed like crazy that is why there was so much taken out
False that's a myth, look up a video on taxes on OT
The amount you pay into SocSec is just 1/6 the amount of my SocEc payments a month. It takes you and 6 other people to pay my SocSec.
Due to cost of living cost.
As for you union dues.
The $82.54..it takes four of you trainees to pay my monthly retirement.
I have thought the exact thing, it puts you in a higher tax bracket which takes a lot more out. I’m in the IBEW in the Bay Area, California I rarely do overtime anymore.
That’s not how tax brackets work
What local are you a member of Ryan. I'm a member of local 595 but I got my contractors license and started my own shop.
@@shak180 I’m in 595 west, Alameda county.
@@ryanrice4681 Well howdy fellow member! How long have you been in? It'll be 11 years for me in about 7 months
So if you work overtime average you get taxed at higher percentage?
the taxes on your check are insane i make about the same but have $2500 left over in houston texas
dang 😭
Where do you work and who for? My company offers paid school and Electrical is an option. Trying to figure what to craft out in (boilermaker, pipefitter, etc).
@@jessyepperson5612 If your talking to me I'm actually not an electrician I work as a chemical process operator. I work in a chemical plant we make polyethylene and polypropylene which is plastic. My company is none union and I have a 2 year associate degree for the job but some companies don't require a degree if you have related experience as pipfitter, maintenence, instrument tech etc. Or you know somebody lol
@@TheNexusman7 I work in the plants as well. Was thinking about going into Electrical. Wanted to go into operations but my company won't pay for those classes. Can't really do school on my own.
@@jessyepperson5612 you in Houston
What other ways can I become a journeyman without going thru union then later joining the union my hall union hall is very low on work right now
Just look up other electrician shops. Residential, commercial, and industrial. There are TONS of electrician shops. Find a trade school where you can get your school ours in and start working towards the journeyman test! Also if you get in with a shop a lot of times you can get tons of info on what to do next if you ask around. You can search online for electrician shops that are looking for apprentices! Many are looking for workers!
Bro what, they took out so much taxes that’s insane bruh
i know
35% total including both federal and state is pretty reasonable
That’s crazy, I just got a quote for labor only to install a simple transfer switch $1400 😮. I am sure they are not paying you guy that much
As a single person the kleptocracy takes about 50% of your pay now.
Simply create an llc, then write off expenses and you’ll lower your taxable income. Simple solution
Can you elaborate more? Coming from a complete retard who doesn’t understand anything 😂
Thinking of applying for an apprenticeship at my local ibew
That is an awesome pay $1700 wow
Fuucckk. Kiiinndda makes me lose hope. I got stuck in the restaurant industry (have been managing since 22. Currently 32) and the average manager in my area makes 65-80k (85-120 for GMs). Can’t take a pay hit but I wanna get out of the industry so bad. Stepped down from a GM position and had been looking at becoming an electrician, but can’t fathom losing money to go to school to make less than I do.
Data center Per DEIM, would bring you $500/ week
yeah but im not gonna work 70 hours a week lol
Its 58, Per DEIM is only after 8hours so technically you can work 5 x 8’s and get it
the math isn't adding up, or im not understanding what you are trying to say 😂
58/5=11.6
5x10s and 8’s on Saturday = 58. $100 a day after 8 hours worked. Working 58’s your take home is $2750/W, $500/100 =5days of 8hours minimum not including working Saturday. The most hours we work is 58/wk
nicee
154k 50 hours week. Bro made it
lol
81k after taxes…
rip
Taxes man smh
Vy it take so long charge brand new cell and brand new charger sweety is not hard enogh
i cant understand you
i hope mi cells and chargers are charging
This dude really mad about “Only” getting 1.7k for one week lol only an electrician would complain about their wages lol
This is why I’m not choosing the union route. I’ll do my 40hrs/ week type of thing then some side work under the table.
In the electrical union, overtime is optional not mandatory. Also most union electricians, not me, do side work. Also I almost guarantee you’ll find better benefits with a union.
@@shea-butter hmm didn't think of it like that. Thanks!
@@xxChacaronXX just trying to be helpful! I’ve had a good union experience and so I want others to experience it too! I also know a lot of REALLY good electricians who love their non union shops!
@@shea-butter I definitely appreciate your input. How do the crowds compare between the two? I herd there's a lot of alcoholics (well not a lot but a fair share).
@@xxChacaronXX I can’t fully compare because I’ve never worked non union but based on what I’ve seen there is a fair share of rough people but also a lot of good people! I’ve never felt threatened or anything on the job! I love the people I work with!
I am a electrician in Trinidad I really wish I could move out there and work. Trust me
I am really in doubt if i should go to Hvac or Electrician. I am thinking in the long run which one will be easier to start my own small bussiness??? As far as i understood HVAC makes less money but it’s a little bit less complicated to learn and work for yourself, am i wrong? Someone could help me? Thank you so much
Electrician
Considering leaving trucking making $100k a year working 60 hours a week, how many years would it take thru union to make more than $100k again??
@DailyElectrician
off the top of my head guessing 4 or 5
@@DailyElectrician What would you do.
I’m 27 this year, would you take the paycut for a few years? My days are usually 12-14 hour days 4-5 days out the week unloading physical work. But I only have 20 minute commute and 2 weeks vacation lol
i would definitly take the paycut and leave asap lol
I’m a truck driver as well, been looking into this. I think I’d feel better and id be happy to work side Jobs for myself and make more money and less hours
JW in PA non union dont even break that in 2 weeks.
Wtf get out and Join the union!! Non union always ripping off its employees
@@ty-ex1vb i joined over 2 years ago. Best decision I ever made.

Bro why you looking around so much like you got opps 😂
camera is a different direction probly and looking at 2 different tv's (monitors)

Not gonna lie bro just keep grinding thats one week shii thats low key a pay day. Stick around and yull be making big bucks soon enough. Thats like 3 times what i get paid so your doing alright. I heard ppl like you be making 12k a week i hope you get there soon.
no one makes 12k a week
@@DailyElectricianI think this guy was trying to clown you. Anyways keep it up. Us Chicago unions painters are at 51.55 an hour with annuity plus pension. Union is the way to go if your not an entrepreneur
Do you specifically have to talk about anything during the meeting or just listen?
Why is the state tax more than the vacation fund 😡 should be the other way around
the vacation fund is 4% of your check. taxes will never be that low. one can hope tho lol
Ouch
lol yeah
That’s my pay after 80 hours
What are your r thoughts on HVAC?
do it if it makes you happy
@@DailyElectrician compared to Electric
@@greenmanalishi6963 really just depends what you enjoy doing. each have pros and cons. i think electrical is better

for sure ;(

OT it's a Scam brother, don't do that any more
no thank you 🙂
Bro, be grateful. I work 2 jobs 65 hours a week and what you make in one week would take me 2 and a half weeks to make.
Sounds about broke 😂
@@cesar9379 yeah typical for retail
get a better job? 🤷🏻♂️
@@DailyElectrician yeah not that easy when you have health issues that limits you from the high paying jobs, ya know, like yours lmfao
sorry to hear that 😭 i'm sure you can find something that pays higher tho 🤷🏻♂️ that way you can work less :)
Sounds like the guy is whining about making $5k+ per month after taxes. 😂
Agreed
Hi guy some one please tell me the different between home depot 2 gauge thhn copper wire and Lowes wire. They both made by southwire but why does lowe list it can only carry max 110 amp while home depot listed on their site 125 amp max. If I don't remember wrong, I think in store even said 130 amp. I plan to run 25-28 feet inside conduit over head inside garrage ceiling. 125 circuit breaker box. Thanks

what?
Could be in Ohio Union Journeyman rate is only 33hr, and your not making $20hr till 4th year the wages are too low for me to even consider an apprenticeship compared to other opportunities
I'm in Ohio considering joining. The pay cut is rough
Cost of living is different in California is way more than Ohio which is why they get pay that amount
@@RonaldMcDonald23 that pay for Ohio is still trash though, but yes California is stupid expensive

When you consider that you don't need to pay for health insurance, and get a pension once you retire, it's really not bad at all
Still way more than non union

Bro u live in Oregon ain’t that expensive
Come to California 😂 I make 33 n hr I live comfortable in San Jose

congrats
You're doing something wrong then. I'm in TN making $46/hr, all OT is DT. About 6300/week.
Don't talk big if you're small lol
