Several state and local minimum wage rates will increase in 2023, with a majority of the changes effective on January 1, 2023. The chart below lists state and certain major locality minimum wage increases for 2023—and future years, if available—along with the related changes in the maximum tip credit and minimum cash wage for tipped employees.
Please note the following:
- Minimum wage rates that will take effect on January 1, 2023 (or December 31, 2022, in New York) are in bold text.
- The chart includes major localities with their own minimum wage rates that will increase in 2023. It is not exhaustive of every locality nationwide that may have a minimum wage rate different from the applicable state or federal rate.
- “Current” indicates that the rate is current as of the publication date of this article.
- Jurisdictions that will not have—or have not announced—2023 increases in their minimum wage rates generally are not included in the chart below.
- The federal minimum wage rate will remain at $7.25 per hour for non-tipped employees and $2.13 per hour for tipped employees.
- District of Columbia, Nebraska, and Nevada minimum wage rate and/or tip credit changes are based on ballot measures approved by voters on November 8, 2022, and are noted in red text.
Additional information on state and local minimum wage rates is available in the firm’s OD Comply: State Wage & Hour subscription materials, which are updated and provided to OD Comply subscribers as the law changes.
