What is the minimum wage in Miami?

Miami follows Florida's statewide minimum wage, which is $13.00 per hour. Florida raises it on a scheduled path toward $15.00, so the exact figure depends on the date.

How is overtime calculated in Florida?

Florida follows the federal FLSA rule: hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek are paid at 1.5 times the regular hourly rate. There is no separate daily overtime requirement.

How does the tipped minimum wage work?

Florida lets employers take a tip credit of $3.02, so the minimum direct cash wage for tipped workers is $9.98 per hour. Tips must make up the difference: cash wage plus tips must reach at least $13.00 per hour.

What happens if tips do not reach the full minimum?

If a tipped worker's cash wage plus tips falls short of $13.00 per hour, the employer must make up the difference. The tool flags this shortfall so you can check your paycheck.

Does this include taxes?

No. The result is gross pay before federal income tax and payroll taxes. Florida has no state income tax, but federal withholding and FICA still apply to your actual paycheck.

Miami Minimum Wage & Overtime Calculator

Miami minimum wage and overtime, explained

Miami uses Florida’s statewide minimum wage of $13.00 per hour. This calculator turns your hourly rate and weekly hours into gross pay, automatically applying federal overtime rules — time-and-a-half for any hours beyond 40 in a workweek. For tipped roles it also applies Florida’s tip credit so you can confirm your cash wage plus tips reaches the full minimum.

How it works

Pay splits into regular and overtime portions based on the 40-hour threshold:

regular_hours = min(hours, 40)
overtime_hours = max(hours - 40, 0)
regular_pay = regular_hours * rate
overtime_pay = overtime_hours * rate * 1.5
gross = regular_pay + overtime_pay

For tipped workers, Florida permits a tip credit of $3.02, so the minimum direct cash wage is 13.00 - 3.02 = 9.98 per hour. Tips must bring total hourly earnings to at least the full $13.00:

effective_hourly = cash_wage + (tips / hours)
shortfall if effective_hourly < 13.00

Tips and example

A worker at 13.00 per hour who works 45 hours has 40 regular hours (520.00) plus 5 overtime hours at 19.50 each (97.50), for 617.50 gross. A tipped server earning the 9.98 cash wage must collect enough tips to clear $13.00 per hour; if they earn 9.98 cash plus tips averaging only 2.00 per hour, the employer owes the 1.02 per hour shortfall to reach the legal minimum.
