No matter what electrical work you do, Invoice G2G has you covered.
In 2026, the average salary for electrical contractors in the U.S. is around $64,571 per year, though it can vary depending on experience and location.
Entry-level electricians might earn closer to $55,681, while more experienced contractors could see salaries as high as $73,459 or more in certain areas, especially in cities like San Francisco or New York.
When it comes to taxes, electrical contractors — 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).
Every service call ends with a signed invoice and a paid stripe charge. My days end at 5 pm now, not 9 pm doing paperwork.
