2024 Salary Breakdown – Gross vs. Net Pay (Screenshot Attached)

I wanted to share my 2024 earnings to see how they compare and get some insight from others in the industry. I work as a framer in Utah, and this was my first full year at my current company. I’ve been framing on and off since 2021, with a break to attend a construction trade school. The attached screenshot shows my gross vs. net pay for the year.

A few details for context: • Job: Framer (construction) • Location: Utah • Experience: Started framing in April 2021, attended a trade school program in 2022-2023, and have been with my current company since May 2023. • Hours: Typically full-time, some overtime • Deductions: Taxes, insurance, etc.

Curious to hear thoughts on how this stacks up, what others in construction are seeing, and any advice on maximizing take-home pay. Let me know what you think!
