Santa Fe Minimum Wage Laws Santa Fe, New Mexico Local Minimum Wage for 2023, 2024

While New Mexico's state minimum wage is $12.00 per hour, Santa Fe has set its own, higher minimum wage rate that applies to employees of all companies who work within Santa Fe. A minimum wage increase is currently scheduled in Santa Fe, but until the effective date of 3/2/2022 the state minimum wage rate of $12.00 will apply.


Past Minimum Wage
$14.03 / hour
Effective 3/1/2023
Future Increase
TBD
Comparison to State Wage
+$2.03 / hour

Because Santa Fe has a higher minimum wage rate than the one set by New Mexico or the Federal government, the higher local minimum wage rate takes precedence and must be paid to all employees covered by the local minimum wage regulation.

Keep in mind that New Mexico and the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act both define various minimum wage exemptions and other labor laws that may apply to employees in Santa Fe. You can find more information about New Mexico's minimum wage and labor laws on this site.
