How This Minimum Wage Calculator Works
Choose Standard (hourly) to estimate earnings at your state's full minimum wage, or Tipped employee to use the state's tipped minimum wage (the direct cash wage an employer may pay before tips). Choose Salaried exempt check to test whether a weekly salary meets the minimum threshold required to classify an employee as exempt from overtime under FLSA or your state's law.
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees must be paid 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for every hour worked beyond 40 in a week.
Federal exempt threshold for reference: $684/week ($35,568/year). States that set a higher threshold override the federal minimum for employers operating there.
