In 2026, the average salary for plumbers in the U.S. is around $63,400 per year, though it can vary depending on experience, licensing level, and location.
Entry-level plumbers might earn closer to $48,200, while master plumbers running their own service business could see salaries as high as $89,700 or more in high-cost metros like New York, Boston, and San Francisco.
When it comes to taxes, plumbers — like all self-employed tradespeople — are responsible for paying both income taxes and self-employment taxes (which cover Social Security and Medicare).
The self-employment tax rate is 15.3%, which consists of 12.4% for Social Security and 2.9% for Medicare.
For income up to $172,000 in 2026, you'll pay the full 15.3%. Income above this threshold is only subject to the 2.9% Medicare portion, with an additional 0.9% for high earners (income above $200,000 for single filers).
Emergency calls at 2 am used to mean paperwork the next morning. Now I invoice from the truck and I’m paid before sunrise.
