How the Oklahoma minimum wage works

In Oklahoma, the minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, effective July 24, 2009. Oklahoma aligns with the federal minimum wage, and a tip credit is allowed: the tipped cash wage is $2.13 per hour, with tips expected to bring total pay to at least the full minimum wage. Overtime is paid at 1.5× the regular rate after 40 hours in a workweek. The state defers to the federal FLSA standard.

Oklahoma's Minimum Wage Act sets $7.25/hr, matching the federal rate, but excludes jobs covered by the federal FLSA, so most workers fall under federal law ($2.13/hr tipped cash wage). Non-FLSA employers with fewer than 10 full-time employees at one location and gross sales of $100,000 or less may pay $2.00/hr. Voters rejected State Question 832 on June 16, 2026.
