Electricians Wages

Before I go into electricians wages I will say that there is a LOT of variation in pay and the figures stated are only approximations based on research. What electricians get paid depends on experience, qualifications and the area you live in.

The average wage for an electrician is said to be £26k per year. At the bottom end of the scale you can work for £0, yes £0! People are so keen to gain experience they will work for free. I am sure I will have to do the same. There was a young lad on the local radio looking for an unpaid position only a couple of weeks ago. And with employment being like it is employers have the upper hand and at the same time are keen to reduce costs by reducing expenditure on electricians wages.

In Summary
• Starting Salary 15-20k
• With Experience 23-28k
• Experienced Specialists 30k plus.
