Estimate annual pay from your state's HVAC/R wages
Choose a state and a work schedule. The calculator multiplies published hourly wage benchmarks by your planned hours. It gives you a comparison point for a job offer, not a prediction of your personal pay.
What the calculation includes
Source: BLS May 2025 Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics state tables, heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers (SOC 49-9021). This occupation includes residential, commercial, and industrial work. The 25th–75th range covers the middle half of the wage distribution. Employment is a count of workers, not current job openings.
Annual estimates use simple multiplication of the selected hourly wage by hours per week and weeks per year. They do not apply overtime premiums, benefits, taxes, bonuses, travel pay, or expected raises. A job's actual offer may be outside the published range.
Compare with real openings
