Florida Minimum Wage 2026: $14.00 Now, $15.00 on September 30
Florida’s minimum wage is currently $14.00 an hour, effective since September 30, 2025. It rises to $15.00 an hour on September 30, 2026 — the final step of the schedule set by the 2020 constitutional amendment. After that, the rate adjusts annually for inflation starting September 30, 2027. Florida preempts local minimum wage ordinances, so this rate applies uniformly across every city and county in the state.

What this means for hiring
The September 30, 2026 increase is close — about four weeks out from this page’s last update — so any job ad, offer letter, or payroll setup for a Florida hourly role should already be planned around the $15.00 figure rather than the $14.00 rate that’s about to expire. Because Florida preempts local wage ordinances, this is the one number to track statewide; there’s no city or county minimum to check separately, unlike California or Illinois.
