State minimum wage rates effective January 1, 2023

(Updated January 10, 2023. The chart below has been amended to show that the Michigan minimum wage is increased to $10.10 effective January 1, 2023.)

Though the federal minimum wage remains at $7.25 per hour, state (and local) minimum wage rates will increase in numerous jurisdictions on January 1, 2023 (dates of change other than January 1 are shown in the effective date column in the chart below). Increases in the minimum wage can be the result of voter approval, law changes or because of annual inflation adjustments.

Employers should be aware of differences in localities that independently set a minimum wage for employees working within their city or county limits (for example, several cities in California).

The chart below shows the minimum wage rates that apply in 2023 as reported by the respective agencies as of December 20, 2022.
