What floor installers make
Median
$50,340
Bottom tenth

Top tenth
$82,140
The federal wage survey splits flooring into several lines. These are the 2025 figures for carpet installers, the closest single match: a median of $50,340 a year, with the bottom tenth earning $35,450 or less and the top tenth $82,140 or more. The survey counts employees, so people running their own crews are not in these figures.
