City wage comparison
Updated 6 August 2026 · Solve24 India
Bangalore painters earn about 30% more per sq ft than Coimbatore painters in 2026 — labour rates of ₹9–₹29/sq ft vs ₹7–₹22/sq ft — reflecting Bangalore's 1.30 multiplier vs Coimbatore's 1.0. A full 2BHK repaint pays ₹19,500–₹45,500 in Bangalore vs ₹15,000–₹35,000 in Coimbatore. Bangalore has year-round IT-corridor apartment turnover demand; Coimbatore peaks around Pongal, Diwali and wedding season.
| Job | Bangalore (mult 1.30) | Coimbatore (mult 1.0) |
|---|---|---|
| Interior wall paint (per sq ft, labour) | ₹9 – ₹20 | ₹7 – ₹15 |
| Exterior wall paint (per sq ft) | ₹13 – ₹29 | ₹10 – ₹22 |
| POP putty + primer (per sq ft) | ₹10 – ₹21 | ₹8 – ₹16 |
| Wood polish (per sq ft) | ₹33 – ₹78 | ₹25 – ₹60 |
| Texture painting (per sq ft) | ₹52 – ₹156 | ₹40 – ₹120 |
| Full 2BHK interior repaint | ₹19,500 – ₹45,500 | ₹15,000 – ₹35,000 |
| Waterproofing (per sq ft) | ₹26 – ₹65 | ₹20 – ₹50 |
| Daily wage range | ₹910 – ₹2,340 | ₹700 – ₹1,800 |
| Monthly income (skilled) | ₹28,000 – ₹52,000 | ₹22,000 – ₹42,000 |
| Monthly rent (1 BHK) | ₹15,000 – ₹30,000 | ₹6,000 – ₹12,000 |
Bangalore painters run high-volume year-round jobs. IT-corridor apartment turnover (Whitefield, Marathahalli, Electronic City, HSR Layout, Sarjapur) keeps repaint demand steady even in summer. A team of 2–3 painters completes a 2BHK in 3–4 days, billing ₹19,500–₹45,500 — that's ₹5,000–₹11,000/day per team member. Waterproofing (₹26–₹65/sq ft) is a monsoon-season add-on paying ₹15,000–₹40,000 per roof job.
Coimbatore has strong Tamil-Nadu-heritage textile-industry residential demand plus growing IT-corridor work in Peelamedu and Saravanampatti. Pongal (mid-January), Diwali (October–November) and wedding season drive the sharpest peaks. A busy Coimbatore painter earns ₹28,000–₹42,000 in peak, ₹18,000–₹25,000 off-season. Rent (₹6,000–₹12,000) is half of Bangalore's.
On commission apps, both cities lose 15–30% per job. Bangalore painters (larger invoices) lose more in absolute terms — a ₹35,000 job loses ₹5,250–₹10,500 to platform commission. Solve24 charges zero commission, so the ₹35,000 job pays ₹35,000 to the painting team.
Choose Bangalore for year-round volume and higher per-sq-ft rates — a well-networked team crosses ₹50,000/month reliably. Choose Coimbatore for a lower-competition market with strong festival peaks and half the rent. Both cities benefit from direct-customer platforms; commission apps take away 3–4 weeks of your annual income in fees.
Yes — 30% more per sq ft. Bangalore skilled painters earn ₹28,000–₹52,000/month vs ₹22,000–₹42,000 in Coimbatore.
₹28,000–₹42,000/month during Pongal, Diwali and wedding season. Off-season drops to ₹18,000–₹25,000.
Yes — Peelamedu, Saravanampatti and Vilankurichi have growing IT-office and residential-complex demand. Still smaller than Bangalore's but growing 15–20% year-on-year.
