Main statewide rate. Where a city or county sets a higher rate, or a state sets different rates by region or employer size, pay at the rate that applies is higher; the calculator above includes every local rate.
How the pay is worked out
Weekly pay is the hourly rate times the hours worked, up to 40. Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, every hour over 40 in a workweek is paid at one and a half times the regular rate, so at $7.25 an overtime hour pays $10.875, which most payroll systems round to $10.88.1 Pay every two weeks is twice the weekly figure, yearly pay is 52 weeks, and the monthly figure is the yearly pay divided by 12, since months have between four and five weeks.
A full-time year is 2,080 hours (40 hours for 52 weeks). At the federal minimum wage that is $15,080 before taxes; at $15.00 it is $31,200; at $17.13, the highest state rate in 2026, it is $35,630. Paid holidays and vacation are included in those figures only if the employer pays them.
What the calculator leaves out
The figures are gross pay. Federal and state income tax, Social Security and Medicare (7.65% combined for employees) and any benefit deductions come out of each paycheck. Some states, including California, Alaska, Nevada and Colorado, also require overtime after a set number of hours in a day, which can raise pay for long shifts.
For a tipped employee in a state that allows a tip credit, the employer may pay the lower cash wage shown, but the cash wage plus tips must reach the full minimum wage for every workweek; if they fall short, the employer must pay the difference.2 Overtime for a tipped employee is calculated on the full minimum wage, not the cash wage.
Is the rate right for you?
The rate that applies is the highest of the federal, state and local minimum wages for the place where you do the work. Some workers are paid a different rate legally: young workers in their first 90 days, students and learners under federal certificates, and some industries with their own minimum. Each state page and city page lists every rate and who it covers.
