Colorado Minimum Wage
Minimum wage is one of the most important areas covered by Colorado labor law. In 2026, Colorado's statewide minimum wage is $15.16 per hour. Certain local jurisdictions have higher minimum wages, meaning an employee's required minimum rate can depend on where the work is performed.
Tipped employees may be subject to a tip credit under applicable requirements, but employers must ensure that workers receive the required minimum compensation under Colorado law.
Employers should also remember that minimum wage requirements apply to eligible employees regardless of whether they are paid hourly, by salary, commission, or another compensation method.
