Tipped minimum wage rates for every state for 2024 Tipped Minimum Wage Laws by State 2024

Tipped employees, such as waitresses and bartenders, may sometimes be paid a cash wage that is lower than the prevailing minimum wage through a system known as a tip credit.

In states that allow a tip credit, a certain amount of received tips per hour may be credited against the minimum wage by an employer, although the tipped employee must receive at least the minimum wage (with combined cash wage and tips) each hour. Minimum-Wage.org maintains a database of state tipped minimum wage laws, allowed tip credits, and minimum cash wages for all states.
