What is the minimum wage in Jacksonville?

Jacksonville follows Florida's statewide minimum wage of $13.00 per hour. Florida's rate rises by $1.00 each September on a schedule toward $15.00, so confirm the current rate for the date you are paid.

How is overtime calculated?

Under the federal FLSA, hours over 40 in a workweek are paid at 1.5 times your regular rate. Florida has no separate daily overtime rule, so only the weekly 40-hour threshold applies.

How does the Florida tip credit work?

Florida lets employers take a $3.02 tip credit, so the minimum cash wage for tipped staff is $13.00 minus $3.02, or $9.98 per hour. Cash wage plus tips must still reach the full $13.00, or the employer owes the difference.

Does this include taxes?

No. The result is gross pay before federal income tax and FICA. Florida has no state income tax, so take-home is higher than in most states for the same gross pay.

Calculate Jacksonville minimum wage and overtime

Jacksonville workers are covered by Florida’s statewide minimum wage of $13.00/hr. This calculator splits your week into regular and overtime hours, pays overtime at 1.5x for anything over 40 hours, and — for tipped staff — verifies the Florida tip credit so cash wage plus tips reaches the full minimum.

How it works

The tool separates the week at the 40-hour line and applies the overtime multiplier:

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, Florida allows a $3.02 tip credit, so the minimum cash wage is $13.00 - $3.02 = $9.98/hr. The tool checks that cash wage plus average tips reaches $13.00; if not, it shows the shortfall the employer must make up.

Tips and example

At $13.00/hr for 45 hours, the first 40 hours pay $520.00 and the 5 overtime hours pay 5 × 13 × 1.5 = $97.50, for a gross of $617.50. For a tipped server paid $9.98/hr cash plus $5.00/hr in tips, the effective $14.98/hr clears the $13.00 minimum, so no make-up pay is owed. Florida levies no state income tax, so more of this gross stays in your pocket than in most states.
