Arizona's minimum wage is $15.15 per hour, effective January 1, 2026, up $0.45 from $14.70, based on the increase in the Consumer Price Index between August 2024 and August 2025 [1]. The statute raises the minimum wage every January 1 by the increase in the cost of living, rounded to the nearest five cents, and lets employers pay tipped employees up to $3.00 per hour less than the minimum wage if tips bring their total pay to at least the minimum wage for all hours worked [2].
