How much do concrete contractors earn? Wages, costs and taxes

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics' May 2025 occupational wage table lists a median hourly wage of USD27.41 for cement masons and concrete finishers. This is the wage of US employees, not a contractor's construction rates or profit.

Experience, location and business size affect income. A new worker and an experienced contractor running their own business may earn different amounts. Income may also exceed the national level in major metropolitan areas with strong construction demand, such as Los Angeles and New York, but local business costs still need to be calculated.

Quotes also need to include ready-mix concrete, delivery, pumping, formwork, reinforcement and equipment costs. Site setup, placing and curing all take time, and waiting for delivery or adding depth can also change costs.

Use the concrete calculator to estimate volume, then add material, equipment and labor costs. After the work is finished, compare actual spending with project income. Self-employed workers and business owners also need to account for applicable self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare, federal income tax, and state and local taxes, and set aside the amounts due.

Concrete estimating software FAQs

How do I track time spent on concrete construction, repairs or maintenance?

Accurately recording time spent on concrete construction, repairs and routine maintenance is important. Follow these steps to record the time for each job:

  1. Use Client Time Tracking in the Tools section.
  2. Record the hours spent on specific tasks, such as concrete construction, repairs or construction inspections.
  3. After recording the time, you can convert the logged hours into an invoice to ensure that hourly services are billed accurately.
Can I send quotes or estimates for concrete construction and repairs and convert them into invoices?

Yes. You can send estimates for concrete construction and repairs, then convert them into invoices after customer approval:

  1. Create an estimate detailing labor, material and service costs for the concrete project.
  2. After customer approval, open the estimate, tap More in the bottom-right corner and select Convert to Invoice.

This simplifies the process from estimating to invoicing without re-entering data.

Can I include warranty or guarantee terms in a concrete invoice?

Yes. You can include warranty or guarantee information in an invoice to reassure customers. Here's how:

  1. Open the invoice associated with the job.
  2. Scroll to Notes and add details of the warranty or guarantee you provide, such as material or labor coverage for a specified period after construction or repairs.

Providing this information helps build trust and gives customers greater confidence in your services.

How do I handle emergency concrete repairs and charge for them separately?

Concrete businesses often need to respond to emergency repair requests, which may require separate billing. Here's how:

  1. Create or edit an invoice and add a line item called Emergency Repair.
  2. Specify labor and material costs for the emergency repair so the customer understands that this is an urgent service.

This lets you apply an extra charge for emergency services while clearly itemizing what you are charging for.
