Glaziers Salary

It’s a stretch — at the median salary of $47K, rent takes 48% of take-home pay. A 2-bedroom at the HUD Fair Market Rent runs $1,604/month. The 30% guideline puts the comfortable ceiling at roughly $1,000/month in rent — so roommates or a 1-bedroom would ease the math significantly.

The 10th-percentile wage — what new glaziers typically earn — is $27K/year. Take-home on that works out to about $1,622/month. At HUD’s $1,604/month FMR, rent would take 99% of that take-home — above the 30% guideline, so a 1-bedroom or shared housing is likely necessary starting out.

Local pay runs 17% below the national median — $47K here vs. $57K nationally.

The median is $47,380 a year, that works out to about $23 an hour. But the range is wide: entry-level workers start around $27,040, and experienced glaziers can clear $61,900. These are BLS numbers, based on employer-reported data, not self-reported surveys.

On that salary, you'd take home roughly $3,342/month after taxes. A 2-bedroom here rents for about $1,604/month, which eats 48% 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.
