TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida’s minimum wage will increase one dollar starting September 30, 2025.

What You Need To Know

  • The minimum wage for non-tipped workers will increase one dollar to $14 per hour
  • Non-tipped employees will also earn an extra buck, collecting $10.98 per hour

  • The state’s hourly minimum wage will reach $15 in 2026

Non-tipped workers will earn a $14 hourly rate, giving them roughly an additional $2,000 per year. Meanwhile, tipped workers will earn $10.98 per hour.

The incremental increase comes as Floridians navigate inflation and a higher cost of living. Matt Allen is an investor and financial educator. He is the Founder and CEO of Bean Wealth.

“Inflation is so incredibly high that one dollar would not move the needle at all,” said Allen. “The first thing that has to change really is prices have to go down. The average person can’t take their family of four out on a Friday night to go to dinner. It’s been a very tough time for people.”

Florida voters in 2020 approved a Constitutional ballot amendment that is inching the state minimum wage toward $15 dollars an hour in 2026. After that, Florida will adjust the minimum wage based on inflation.
