What is the minimum wage in Oklahoma City?

Oklahoma City follows the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. Oklahoma has not set a state or city minimum above the federal floor, so $7.25 is the binding rate for most non-tipped workers.

How is overtime calculated?

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek are paid at 1.5 times the regular rate. The tool splits your hours at 40, pays the first 40 at your rate, and the remainder at time-and-a-half.

How does the tipped wage work in Oklahoma?

Oklahoma permits a cash wage of $2.13 per hour for tipped workers, provided tips bring total earnings to at least $7.25 per hour. If they do not, the employer must make up the difference, which this calculator flags and quantifies.

Does Oklahoma City have its own minimum wage law?

No. Oklahoma state law preempts local minimum-wage ordinances, so Oklahoma City cannot set a higher municipal minimum. The federal $7.25 rate applies citywide.

Are all workers eligible for overtime?

No. Certain salaried executive, administrative, and professional employees are exempt from FLSA overtime, along with some other categories. This tool assumes a non-exempt hourly worker; confirm your classification with your employer.

Oklahoma City pay starts at the federal minimum of $7.25 per hour, and any hours past 40 in a week earn overtime. This calculator computes your gross weekly pay with the correct overtime split, and for tipped workers it checks whether the $2.13 cash wage plus tips actually reaches the legal minimum.

How it works

The Fair Labor Standards Act sets the overtime rule, and Oklahoma follows the federal wage floor:

regular pay  = min(hours, 40) × rate
overtime pay = max(hours − 40, 0) × rate × 1.5
gross weekly = regular pay + overtime pay

tipped check:
  total = (hours × $2.13) + weekly tips
  if total < hours × $7.25 → employer must top up the difference

If your entered rate is below $7.25, the tool notes that it falls below the binding minimum.

Example

At $7.25/hr for 45 hours: 40 regular hours pay $290, and 5 overtime hours at $10.88/hr add $54.38, for a gross weekly total of $344.38.

Notes

This assumes a non-exempt hourly worker. Salaried executive, administrative, and professional employees may be overtime-exempt. Oklahoma preempts local minimum-wage laws, so Oklahoma City cannot exceed the federal $7.25 floor. Confirm your classification and any tip top-up with your employer.
