On January 1, 2024, Michigan’s minimum wage rate is set to increase. Passed in 2018, Michigan’s Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act established an annual schedule of increases.

Effective January 1:

    • The minimum hourly wage will increase from $10.10 per hour to $10.33.
    • The 85% rate for minors aged 16 and 17 will increase to $8.78 per hour.
    • The tipped employee rate of hourly pay increases to $3.93 per hour.
    • The training wage of $4.25 per hour for newly hired employees ages 16 to 19 for their first 90 calendar days remains unchanged.
