Sample Calculation
Assume XYZ Construction Company has 15 employees doing Prevailing Wage work. These employees work approximately 1000 hours each per year. The Fringe amount above base rate is $10 / hour.
15 employees X 1000 hours = 15,000 Total hours
15,000 hours X $10.00 = $150,000 in Additional Payroll
$150,000 X 25.65% = $38,475 in savings if the Fringe is deposited to the Prevailing Wage Pension Plan
