Minimum wage calculator by state

Pick your state to see its minimum wage, the federal minimum and the one your employer must pay.

Enter your weekly hours to turn the hourly rate into weekly, monthly and yearly pay.

How it's calculated

  1. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour for jobs covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act.
  2. When a state sets a higher rate, workers get the higher one. In California it is $16.90, in New York City $17 and in Florida $15.
  3. Weekly pay is the hourly rate times your hours. A year counts 52 weeks and a month is a twelfth of that.

An example

In California a full-time worker earning the minimum makes $676 a week, about $2,929 a month or $35,152 a year.

Frequently asked questions

Which states pay only the federal minimum?
