What is Florida's current minimum wage?

Florida's minimum wage is $13.00 per hour, effective September 30, 2024. This was set by Amendment 2, which Florida voters passed in November 2020 to raise the minimum wage to $15/hr by 2026 in annual increments. The next scheduled increase is $14.00/hr on September 30, 2025, followed by $15.00/hr on September 30, 2026.

How does Florida's minimum wage compare to the federal rate?

The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), unchanged since July 24, 2009. Florida's $13.00/hr is $5.75 higher. When a state minimum wage is higher than the federal rate, the higher state rate applies. Working 40 hours a week at Florida's minimum ($13.00) earns $27,040/year; at the federal minimum ($7.25) the same schedule yields only $15,080/year — a difference of almost $12,000 annually.

What is the overtime rate in Florida?

Florida follows the federal FLSA overtime rule: any hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek must be paid at 1.5 times the regular hourly rate (known as "time and a half"). For example, at $13.00/hr the overtime rate is $19.50/hr. Florida has no daily overtime rule — only the 40-hour weekly threshold counts.

What is the minimum wage for tipped workers in Florida?

Tipped employees in Florida have a separate cash wage of $9.98 per hour (effective September 30, 2024). Employers may pay this lower direct wage only if tips bring total hourly compensation up to at least $13.00/hr. If tips fall short, the employer must make up the difference. This tip credit of $3.02/hr is set by Florida Statute § 448.110.

Does Florida allow cities or counties to set their own minimum wage?

No. Florida law (Fla. Stat. § 448.110(3)) expressly pre-empts local governments from setting a minimum wage higher than the state rate. This means Miami, Orlando, Tampa and every other Florida city must follow the statewide $13.00/hr floor — they cannot legislate a higher local minimum. Only the state and federal government set the applicable floor.

How is monthly gross pay calculated here?

Monthly gross is computed as weekly gross multiplied by 52 (weeks in a year), then divided by 12. This gives the exact calendar average of 4.3333 weeks per month, which is more accurate than simply multiplying by 4 or 4.5. For instance, at $13.00/hr for 40h/week: weekly gross = $520.00; annual = $520.00 x 52 = $27,040; monthly = $27,040 / 12 = $2,253.33.

Florida Minimum Wage Calculator

Florida sets its own minimum wage through Amendment 2 — a ballot initiative voters passed in November 2020 — which created a fixed annual schedule of increases all the way to $15.00 per hour by 2026. As of September 30, 2024, the Florida minimum wage is $13.00 per hour, a full $5.75 above the federal floor of $7.25/hr that has gone unchanged since 2009.

This calculator lets you see, in seconds, exactly what any hourly rate in Florida translates to in weekly, monthly and annual gross pay, with overtime handled correctly under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Adjust the wage field to your actual pay rate and the hours field to your typical week — the figures update live in your browser with nothing ever uploaded.

How it works

Regular and overtime pay

The FLSA requires that employees covered by federal overtime rules receive 1.5 times their regular rate for every hour worked beyond 40 in a workweek. The calculator splits your weekly hours into regular (up to 40h) and overtime (above 40h), then applies the correct multiplier to each portion before summing to a weekly gross.

Weekly to monthly and annual conversion

Monthly gross is not a simple “multiply by 4” — that undercounts earnings in months with five pay periods. Instead, the tool uses the mathematically exact average: weekly gross × 52 ÷ 12, which gives 4.3333 weeks per month and matches any full-year payroll total precisely.

Federal comparison

The lower panel computes what the same hours would yield at the federal minimum of $7.25/hr and shows the annual dollar gap. For a standard 40-hour week that gap is nearly $12,000 per year, which illustrates the real effect of Florida’s higher state floor.

Worked example

A cashier in Orlando works 40 regular hours at Florida’s current minimum wage of $13.00/hr, then puts in 5 hours of overtime during a busy week:

Regular pay: 40h × $13.00 = $520.00
Overtime pay: 5h × $19.50 (= $13.00 × 1.5) = $97.50
Weekly gross: $617.50
Monthly gross: $617.50 × 52 ÷ 12 = $2,675.83
Annual gross (45h every week): $617.50 × 52 = $32,110

Compare that to the federal minimum ($7.25/hr, same schedule):

Rate	Weekly gross	Annual gross
Federal $7.25/hr, 40h	$290.00	$15,080
Florida $13.00/hr, 40h	$520.00	$27,040
Florida $13.00/hr, 45h	$617.50	$32,110
Florida $14.00/hr (Sep 2025), 40h	$560.00	$29,120
Florida $15.00/hr (Sep 2026), 40h	$600.00	$31,200

Florida minimum wage schedule under Amendment 2

Amendment 2 set the following step-up path:

$10.00/hr — September 30, 2021
$11.00/hr — September 30, 2022
$12.00/hr — September 30, 2023
$13.00/hr — September 30, 2024 (current)
$14.00/hr — September 30, 2025
$15.00/hr — September 30, 2026

After 2026, annual adjustments will be indexed to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, so the rate will continue to rise with inflation rather than stagnate the way the federal $7.25 has since 2009.
