What is the minimum wage in San Antonio?

San Antonio follows the Texas state minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, which matches the federal minimum. Texas does not set a higher state minimum and does not allow cities to set their own, so $7.25 applies citywide for most non-tipped workers.

How is overtime calculated in Texas?

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees earn 1.5× their regular rate for every hour worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Texas has no daily overtime rule, so only weekly hours past 40 trigger time-and-a-half.

What is the tipped minimum wage in Texas?

Tipped employees in Texas can be paid a cash wage as low as $2.13 per hour, provided tips bring total earnings to at least $7.25/hour. If tips fall short, the employer must make up the difference — that gap is the tip credit shown in this calculator.

Does overtime use the tipped or full rate?

Overtime for tipped workers is based on the full $7.25 minimum (or higher actual rate), not the $2.13 cash wage. The employer still takes the tip credit, so the cash overtime rate is 1.5× the full minimum minus the tip credit. This tool applies that rule.

Are there exemptions from overtime?

Yes. Salaried executive, administrative, professional, outside-sales and certain computer employees who meet the FLSA salary threshold are exempt from overtime. This calculator assumes a non-exempt hourly worker; check your classification if you are salaried.

San Antonio Minimum Wage & Overtime Calculator

The San Antonio minimum wage and overtime calculator turns an hourly rate and a week’s hours into a correct gross paycheck, splitting regular and overtime pay and handling tipped-worker rules. It uses the actual rates that apply in San Antonio under Texas and federal law.

How it works

San Antonio uses the Texas minimum wage of $7.25/hour, identical to the federal floor. The Fair Labor Standards Act requires overtime at 1.5× the regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek:

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

For tipped employees, Texas allows a cash wage as low as $2.13/hour as long as tips lift total pay to at least $7.25. The difference the employer must cover is the tip credit. Overtime for tipped workers is computed on the full $7.25 base, then reduced by the tip credit:

tip credit       = 7.25 − 2.13 = 5.12
OT cash rate     = 7.25 × 1.5 − 5.12

Worked example

A non-tipped worker earns $9.00/hour and works 46 hours. Regular pay is 40 × $9.00 = $360. Overtime is 6 × $9.00 × 1.5 = $81. Gross is $441 for the week.

A tipped server paid the $2.13 cash wage who works 45 hours earns 40 × $2.13 = $85.20 plus 5 × ($7.25 × 1.5 − $5.12) = 5 × $5.755 = $28.78 in cash overtime, for $113.98 in cash wages — before tips, which must bring the total to at least the full minimum.

Tips

Texas has no daily overtime. Only weekly hours past 40 count, unlike California.
Tips never reduce overtime below the legal floor. If your tips do not reach $7.25/hour, your employer owes the difference.
