NYC Estimator salary in construction

Estimator pay is harder to pin down because fewer NYC estimator jobs get advertised publicly. We have one NYC estimator ad with a posted range so far, listed below, and we'll add more as we find them. An anonymous entry from you would help.

The one ad we have posted $120k to $175k base. That's base salary only, before bonus, overtime or benefits.

Posted pay ranges from NYC job ads

Ranges are from public job ads posted around October 2026. When an ad's header and body disagreed, the header range is listed and the other is noted. Ads show what employers offer new hires, which can differ from what people already in the job earn.

What moves the number

• Union vs. non-union: union GCs and public work often pay toward the top, and big union jobs usually have set pay bands.
• GC size: large GCs tend to have fixed bands and better benefits. Small firms vary a lot, and some pay above the big names to compete while others pay well below.
• Years and project type: experience counts, and so does what you've built. Ground-up high-rise, healthcare and mission-critical work often pay more than small interiors.
• Bonus: many NYC offers include a year-end bonus on top of base. Job ads rarely list it, so the only way to see it is from real entries.
