The math, in the open: electricians in the Chicago area earn $36.34–$58.05/hour (median $49.21) per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2025. A legitimate business bills 2–2.5× wages to cover payroll taxes, insurance, equipment, overhead and profit, which puts fair billed labor at about $73–$145/hour. Multiply by the typical labor-hours for your job and you get the range above.
This is an educational estimate, not a quote. Access, condition, season and materials move real prices. Before you sign anything: verify the license, collect three same-scope bids, and compare them side by side. Full guide: every electricians job priced for Illinois.
