Salary guide

How much does a Plasterer earn?

We're still collecting salary data for Plasterer. In the meantime, see what affects your pay in this role.

Where do these numbers come from?

This range comes straight from active vacancies on Werkvolk, not from a survey or an estimate. We only publish a range once at least five different employers state a salary, and we round the bounds, so you can never read off what one particular company pays. The range moves as new vacancies go live. In the app you see the exact salary per vacancy.

Pay by province

There are still too few employers per province for Plasterer to show a reliable range. We publish one as soon as at least five employers in the same province state a salary.

What determines your pay within this range?

As a plasterer, your experience with different techniques (interior and exterior plastering, decorative finishing) and your speed determine your pay.

Benefits beyond your salary

Temp agency or permanent: what's the difference?

With Werkvolk, you always apply directly with the employer, never through a temp agency.

Through a temp agency

  • The agency withholds a share of your pay as its fee
  • Limited seniority build-up between assignments
  • Uncertainty over whether your contract gets renewed
  • Often less access to company benefits than permanent colleagues

Directly through Werkvolk

  • Your full salary goes to you, with no intermediary
  • You build seniority and benefits from day one
  • You know the salary and benefits that come with the job upfront
  • Direct communication with the employer, no middleman

Frequently asked questions about this salary

Do I earn more with decorative plastering techniques?

Specialized or decorative finishing techniques require extra skill and can translate into higher pay, depending on the vacancy.

Does work speed count towards the pay?

On some projects, especially in subcontracting, productivity plays a role in compensation. Check the terms per vacancy.
