Glaziers Salary

It’s a stretch — at the median salary of $62K, rent takes 64.6% of take-home pay. A 2-bedroom at the HUD Fair Market Rent runs $2,693/month. The 30% guideline puts the comfortable ceiling at roughly $1,300/month in rent — so roommates or a 1-bedroom would ease the math significantly.

The 10th-percentile wage — what new glaziers typically earn — is $47K/year. Take-home on that works out to about $2,835/month. At HUD’s $2,693/month FMR, rent would take 95% of that take-home — above the 30% guideline, so a 1-bedroom or shared housing is likely necessary starting out.

Pay here is roughly in line with the national average — $62K locally vs. $57K nationally, a 9% difference.

Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura pays $62K median vs. the U.S. average of $57K — that’s +9%. After adjusting for local cost of living (RPP 110.53), the purchasing-power equivalent is $56K — below the national median.

The median is $62,320 a year, that works out to about $30 an hour. But the range is wide: entry-level workers start around $47,250, and experienced glaziers can clear $92,430. These are BLS numbers, based on employer-reported data, not self-reported surveys.

On that salary, you'd take home roughly $4,169/month after taxes. A 2-bedroom here rents for about $2,693/month, which eats 64.6% of your paycheck. That's above the 30% rule of thumb, housing will be a stretch at the median salary, though you can manage with roommates or a smaller place.

Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura has a Regional Price Parity of 110.53 (100 is the national average).
