What Changed
Only material project, procurement, milestone, value, delivery or team changes are shown.
Find a Project Wage Schedule
Search for the project record, load the official DLS schedule, and choose the rates that apply on your estimate date.
Search DLS project schedules
Search the Commonwealth's public reprint index, then load the official schedule rates into the calculator. If DLS does not expose the generated PDF directly, upload the official reprint PDF and the tracker will extract it.
Example schedule by municipality
Useful for early estimating only. The project-specific DLS schedule still controls for bidding and payroll.
Labor Cost Calculator
Estimate crew cost using rates already loaded from an official DLS schedule or rates you enter manually.
Calculate prevailing wage labor cost
Load rates from an official DLS schedule or enter them manually. The calculator keeps the DLS total rate separate from the employer's qualifying benefit contributions.
| Trade / classification | Base wage | DLS total rate | Employer qualifying benefits / hr | Workers | ST hrs / worker | OT hrs / worker | Required cash ST / hr | Required cash OT / hr | Crew cost |

Data status & methodology
Five public owners, one AGC view
The tracker normalizes project and procurement information published by DCAMM, MBTA, Massport, MSBA and MWRA. Source links remain attached to each record so members can verify the underlying agency information.
Built around the delta
Nightly snapshots are compared field-by-field. Routine source refreshes and cosmetic edits are suppressed while commercially meaningful changes are elevated.
Conservative by design
Missing values are left blank rather than estimated. A one-day disappearance is flagged for verification, not treated as a cancellation. Partial collector runs cannot replace the latest complete baseline.
Posted dates vs. forecasts
The Bid Calendar distinguishes exact owner-published deadlines from anticipated bid quarters or windows. Forecasts are planning intelligence; contractors should confirm requirements, dates, scopes and eligibility directly with the issuing owner.
About the wage tools
Project-specific schedule first
Schedule Lookup queries the public DLS reprint index for project records and can extract rates from an official DLS reprint PDF. The project-specific schedule controls for bidding and payroll.
Calculator, not a wage determination
The Labor Cost Calculator estimates crew cost using loaded or manually entered rates. It does not decide worker classification, benefit-credit eligibility or issue an official wage determination.
