Several state and local minimum wage rates will increase in the latter half of 2022, with most of these changes effective on July 1, 2022. Increases to minimum wage rates for nonexempt employees and tipped employees in Florida will occur later in the year, on September 30, 2022. The chart below lists the state and major locality minimum wage increases scheduled for the summer and fall of 2022, along with related changes in the minimum cash wage for tipped employees where applicable. The new increased minimum wage rates are presented in bold text.

NOTE: Jurisdictions that will not see—or have not announced—upcoming midyear increases in their minimum wage rates are not included in the chart below. This chart includes the major localities with minimum wage rates that will increase in mid-2022. It is not exhaustive of all localities nationwide that may have a minimum wage rate different from the federal or state rate.

In addition to the above chart, employers may find the interactive map below helpful in preparing for these wage and hour changes in the summer and fall of 2022 and in coming years. The map provides the minimum wage rate and applicable tip credits—in addition to employers’ minimum cash wage obligations—for each state and the District of Columbia.

State and federal minimum wage information—in addition to other wage and hour information—is also available in OD Comply: State Wage and Hour subscription materials, which are updated and provided to OD Comply subscribers as the law changes.
