What is the minimum wage in Honolulu?

Honolulu follows the statewide Hawaii minimum wage of $14.00 per hour. There is no separate lower city rate, and the state minimum is scheduled to rise in future years.

How is overtime calculated?

Hawaii uses the federal weekly standard: hours over 40 in a workweek are paid at 1.5 times the regular rate. The tool applies this automatically once hours exceed 40.

How does the tip credit work in Hawaii?

Hawaii allows a small tip credit only when cash wages plus tips clearly exceed the minimum. This tool conservatively checks that cash wage plus tips reaches $14.00/hr and flags any shortfall the employer must cover.

Is this pay before or after taxes?

The result is gross pay before any taxes or deductions. Federal income tax, FICA, and Hawaii state income tax are withheld separately from this amount.

Does daily overtime apply in Hawaii?

Hawaii follows the weekly 40-hour standard rather than a daily overtime rule. Overtime is owed on hours beyond 40 in the workweek, regardless of how they fall across days.

Calculate Honolulu minimum wage and overtime

Honolulu workers earn at least Hawaii’s statewide minimum of $14.00/hr. This tool computes your gross weekly pay, splits out overtime, and checks tipped-worker pay against the legal floor so you can confirm you are being paid correctly.

How it works

Pay is split into regular and overtime portions using the federal weekly standard that Hawaii follows:

regular hours  = min(hours, 40)
overtime hours = max(hours - 40, 0)
regular pay    = regular hours * rate
overtime pay   = overtime hours * rate * 1.5
gross pay      = regular pay + overtime pay

For tipped workers, the tool adds your cash wage and average hourly tips. If that total falls below $14.00/hr, it estimates the shortfall the employer must make up, because a tip credit can never push total pay below the minimum.

Tips and example

At $14.00/hr for 45 hours, you earn 40 * 14 = $560 in regular pay plus 5 * 14 * 1.5 = $105 in overtime, for $665 gross. If a tipped worker is paid a $12.00 cash wage with $1.50/hr in tips, that is only $13.50/hr — below the minimum — so the employer owes the difference on regular hours.

Always confirm your overtime hours and rate; even a small per-hour gap adds up over a full month.
