Payroll costs the state adds

What Tennessee charges an employer on top of wages: unemployment tax, and any paid-leave or disability program funded through payroll, and who must carry workers’ comp. Federal Social Security, Medicare and unemployment tax apply in every state and are already in the calculator. Workers’ comp premiums depend on the class code and the insurer, so the card gives the rules, not a rate.

Workers’ compensation

Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Bureau of Workers' Compensation

Who must carry it
1 employee in construction · 5 employees otherwiseEmployers outside construction must carry workers’ comp once they have five or more employees; construction service providers (and coal mining employers) must cover every employee from the first one, including seasonal, part-time, family and as-needed workers. Minors, working family members and part-time employees count toward the total; in a non-construction sole proprietorship, LLC or partnership the owners are not counted, while full-time corporate officers are counted. tn.gov
Where to buy it
Private insurersCoverage is bought through an agent from one of the 300-plus insurers licensed by the Department of Commerce and Insurance, through a group self-insurance pool or trust, or by single-employer self-insurance approved by Commerce and Insurance. An employer refused by two or more licensed insurers can get a policy through the NCCI Assigned Risk Plan. tn.gov
Owners
Outside construction, sole proprietors, LLC members and partners are not counted toward the five-employee threshold, and corporate officers who work full time are counted but may exclude themselves from the policy. Owners of construction businesses must carry coverage on themselves unless they register an exemption in the Workers’ Compensation Exemption Registry (T.C.A. 50-6-901 et seq.). tn.gov
Construction
A construction-business owner can register an exemption for himself or herself only: a sole proprietor owning 100% of the business, a corporate officer, an LLC member or partner with at least 20% ownership, or family owners holding at least 95%; up to five exempt owners per entity, one for a sole proprietor. The initial exemption costs $50 with an active contractor’s license from the Board for Licensing Contractors ($100 without one, including Construction Services Provider registration), and an exempt owner must still insure every employee, even just one. tn.gov

Paid leave and disability insurance

We found no state paid family and medical leave or temporary disability insurance program funded through payroll in Tennessee on October 28, 2026. State paid sick leave rules, where they exist, are not covered here.

New-employer rates usually last one to three years — longer in some states (four years in Indiana, four to five in D.C.); then the state assigns your own rate, and your rate notice wins over any figure here. The calculator below uses the new-employer rate where one is clear. Where a state’s own pages could not be read, the card says so and gives the U.S. Labor Department’s figure.

What a shop in Tennessee needs to charge

The calculator’s example shop — three techs, $120,000 of overhead, a truck each, 10% net profit — with Tennessee’s median wage for each trade and its unemployment tax filled in. Your own numbers will differ; change them in the calculator below.

Tennessee publishes no single new-employer rate for contractors, so the example uses the U.S. example rate, 2.70%, on Tennessee’s $7,000 wage base.

Sales tax on your work

What Tennessee’s tax agency says about repair and installation labor on buildings and the parts and fixtures that go into them. This is what the agency’s pages say, not tax advice.

Labor
Not taxedInstalling items that become fixtures, such as central HVAC systems, isn’t subject to sales tax to the property owner, and neither is cleaning or repairing real property.Window air conditioners stay personal property, so installing, cleaning or repairing them is taxable; central systems become part of the building. Fixture status is decided case by case.
Materials
Contractor, when buyingThe contractor pays sales tax to its supplier, or use tax, on materials that become part of real property and doesn’t charge the customer tax on them.
Also
Contractors also owe the state business tax; in-state contractors under $100,000 in taxable sales are exempt from it.

Licenses and state fees

The license a shop needs from the state to contract for each trade, the board that issues it and the fees on its own schedule. Cities and counties can add their own licenses, registrations and permit fees; exam vendors and fingerprinting may charge more.

Beyond the trade license

Contractor registration, bond and insurance the state asks of a trade shop

Registration
The Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors license is required to bid or contract for projects of $25,000 or more, including a plumbing, HVAC or electrical subcontract of $25,000 or more with another contractor. Below $25,000, plumbers and electricians need a Limited Licensed Plumber (LLP) or Limited Licensed Electrician (LLE) license only where the municipality uses the state Fire Prevention Division for permits. In Bradley, Davidson, Hamilton, Haywood, Knox, Marion, Robertson, Rutherford and Shelby counties a Home Improvement license is also required for residential remodeling projects of $3,000 to $24,999. tn.gov
Bond
The contractor license itself needs no bond: applicants file a CPA-reviewed or audited financial statement, and since July 1, 2026 they may instead file a Contractors’ Surety Bond of at least 50% of the monetary limit requested. A Home Improvement license requires a $10,000 surety bond (or cash or property bond or irrevocable letter of credit); LLE and LLP licenses require no bond. tn.gov
Insurance
$100,000Contractor and Home Improvement licensees must show general liability insurance to get or renew the license, with minimums tied to the monetary limit: $100,000 for limits up to $500,000 (and for Home Improvement), $500,000 for $500,001 to $1,500,000, and $1,000,000 above that. Workers’ compensation (or a construction services provider exemption) is also required; LLE and LLP licenses need no insurance. tn.gov

State or city license?

State and local Who licenses the trades in Tennessee

The state licenses contractors on jobs of $25,000 or more and LLP/LLE holders only in towns that use the state Fire Prevention Division; elsewhere cities and counties license plumbers, electricians and mechanical contractors themselves. Nashville-Davidson County’s Board of Mechanical, Plumbing, and Electrical Examiners and Appeals examines and certifies master mechanical, HVAC&R, gas, master plumber and master electrician holders. tn.gov · nashville.gov

What Tennessee law says about lien rights on private jobs — the notices, the deadline to file and the deadline to sue — and whether a statute sets payment deadlines or caps retainage. Read from the statute itself; it is not legal advice.

Mechanic’s lien

The state’s official code could not be read normally; the rules below come from the enacted acts.

You, hired by the owner
Before making a contract for, or starting work on, residential real property (as defined in T.C.A. § 66-11-146), a contractor must deliver to the owner, by registered mail or otherwise, the written lien notice set out in § 66-11-203, stating that the contractor will have a lien on the property for one year after the work is finished. No pre-lien notice is set for a prime contractor on other jobs. publications.tnsosfiles.com
Subs and suppliers
Notice requiredExcept on one- to four-family residential units, a remote contractor (sub or supplier) that is unpaid must serve a notice of nonpayment on the owner and the prime contractor within 90 days after the last day of each month in which it furnished work or materials; without it there is no lien except for retainage (T.C.A. § 66-11-145). It must also serve a notice of lien on the owner within the § 66-11-112 recording period, 90 days after the improvement is complete or abandoned (§ 66-11-115). publications.tnsosfiles.com
File the lien
90 daysA prime contractor’s lien exists against the owner without recording, but to keep its priority against later buyers and lenders it must record a sworn statement with the county register of deeds no later than 90 days after the improvement is complete or abandoned (T.C.A. § 66-11-112(a)). A remote contractor must serve its notice of lien on the owner within that same 90-day period (§ 66-11-115(a)). publications.tnsosfiles.com
Enforce it
1 yearA prime contractor’s lien lasts 1 year after the improvement is complete or abandoned and until a suit filed within that year is decided (T.C.A. § 66-11-106); a remote contractor’s lien lasts 90 days from service of its notice of lien (§ 66-11-115(b)). If the owner or prime contractor serves a written demand, suit must be filed within 60 days after service or the lien is forfeited (§ 66-11-130). publications.tnsosfiles.com
Homes
On a one-family home the owner lives in or intends to live in (or a two- to four-unit building where the owner lives in one unit), only the prime contractor has a lien; subs and suppliers do not (T.C.A. § 66-11-146(a)). The prime must also give the residential lien notice in § 66-11-203 before contracting or starting work. publications.tnsosfiles.com

Statutes read

Payment deadlines and retainage

Private jobs (public contracts have their own rules)

Prompt payment
Statute sets deadlinesUnder the Prompt Pay Act, the owner must pay the prime contractor according to the contract’s payment schedule and within 30 days after a timely application for payment (T.C.A. § 66-34-202), and the prime must pay a sub within 30 days after the sub’s timely application (§ 66-34-302); late payments accrue the contract’s interest rate or, if none, 1.5% per month (§ 66-34-601). publications.tnsosfiles.com
Retainage
Capped at 5%Retainage may not exceed 5% of the contract (T.C.A. §§ 66-34-203, 66-34-303) and must be deposited in a separate interest-bearing escrow account with a third party, or the withholding party owes $300 per day (§ 66-34-104). The owner, public or private, must release retainage within 90 days after completion of the work or substantial completion, whichever is first, and each tier must pass it down within 10 days after receipt (§ 66-34-103(b)). publications.tnsosfiles.com

Nashville airport has two working seasons: 3,364 heating and 1,873 cooling degree days a year, heating peaking in January and cooling in July.

The lightest months for heating and cooling together are May and October (219 and 227 degree days).

Nights at or below 32 °F: about 66 a year, ten or more a month in December through February. Days reaching 90 °F: about 54 a year, the most in July.

Weighted by where Tennessee’s people live, NOAA’s statewide normals (1981–2010) are 3,881 heating and 1,366 cooling degree days — 35th for heating and 14th for cooling among the 48 contiguous states (the contiguous U.S.: 4,332 and 1,272).
