Florida is raising its minimum wage to $8.10 an hour beginning Jan. 1, up 5 cents from $8.05 in 2016, the state Department of Economic Opportunity has announced. For tipped employees, the minimum wage will be at least $5.08 an hour.
The minimum wage rate is recalculated each year on Sept. 30, based on the Consumer Price Index. In 2016, the state’s minimum wage was unchanged from the previous year.
