What is the minimum wage in Indianapolis?

Indianapolis follows Indiana's state minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, which matches the federal minimum. Indiana law bars cities from setting their own higher local minimum, so $7.25 applies citywide.

How is overtime calculated in Indiana?

Under federal and Indiana rules, non-exempt employees earn 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek. The tool computes regular pay on the first 40 hours and overtime on the rest.

What is the tipped minimum wage in Indiana?

Indiana lets employers pay tipped workers a cash wage as low as $2.13 per hour, but tips must bring total hourly pay up to at least $7.25. If they do not, the employer must make up the difference.

Does Indianapolis have a higher local minimum wage?

No. Indiana preempts local minimum-wage ordinances, so Indianapolis cannot exceed the $7.25 state rate. Some employers voluntarily pay more, but there is no mandated city minimum above the state floor.

Is the result before or after taxes?

The calculator shows gross weekly pay before any deductions. Federal income tax, Indiana state tax, Marion County local tax, and FICA are withheld separately and reduce your take-home pay.

This calculator turns an hourly rate and weekly hours into gross pay using Indiana’s $7.25 minimum wage, which applies across Indianapolis. It splits pay into regular and overtime hours and checks tipped-worker math against the minimum.

How it works

The first 40 hours pay the base rate; hours beyond 40 pay 1.5 times the rate. Tipped workers must reach the full minimum through cash wage plus tips:

regular_hours = min(hours, 40)
overtime_hours = max(hours - 40, 0)
gross = regular_hours * rate + overtime_hours * rate * 1.5
tipped check: cash_wage + tips must be >= 7.25, else employer owes the gap

Example

At $7.25/hour for 45 hours: 40 regular hours pay 40 * 7.25 = $290 and 5 overtime hours pay 5 * 7.25 * 1.5 = $54.38, for $344.38 gross. A tipped worker earning a $2.13 cash wage needs at least $5.12 in hourly tips to reach the $7.25 minimum.

Notes

This shows gross pay before taxes. Overtime is based on a single workweek over 40 hours. Some workers are exempt from overtime, and Indiana ties its minimum to the federal rate. Confirm specifics with the Indiana Department of Labor.
