Minimum Wage Chart by State


Ensure State-by-State Minimum Wage Compliance 

Most states, 31 in fact, have created - and continue to create - laws to update the minimum wage throughout the state above and beyond the federal minimum wage required by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The federal minimum wage and FLSA require that the vast majority of employees regardless of state (with few exceptions), make a minimum of $7.25 an hour. If a state has no minimum wage requirement or law, or the minimum wage the state requires is lower than the federal minimum wage, then the federal minimum wage typically always applies. 

Below is a table outlining state-by-state minimum wages and wage requirements to make compliance simpler for employers.
