Minimum Wage. What is 'Minimum Wage'. A minimum wage is a legally mandated price floor on hourly wages, below which non-exempt workers may not be offered or accept a job. As of June 2016, the minimum hourly wage rate in the United States is $7.25.
The federal minimum wage rate is the minimum rate that must be paid to nonexempt employees for each hour worked up to and including 40 in a calendar workweek. In some states, a higher minimum rate applies and you must pay your employee at least that higher rate.
