Who this rate applies to

Current minimum wage is $11.00/hr non-tipped and $5.50/hr tipped. The 2025 release says the state minimum applied above $394,000 gross receipts in 2025; candidate notes and search result indicate $405,000 for 2026, but the opened current laws page did not display that threshold. Small employers and 14–15-year-olds remain tied to federal $7.25.

The headline rate may not apply to every worker. Ohio has additional worker-class rates recorded only as prose above. Check the source before relying on the headline figure for a specific job or employer type.
