Starting in 2025, Colorado’s state minimum wage, which is adjusted for inflation, will increase from $14.42 to $14.81 per hour. For tipped workers, the minimum wage will continue to be $3.02 less than the standard minimum wage. This means the minimum wage for tipped workers will be $11.79 per hour in 2025. It is important to note that some jurisdictions within Colorado have higher local minimum wage rates. Below is a breakdown of the new wages effective January 1, 2025.
