Overtime uses the full regular rate before subtracting a permitted tip credit. The employer must cover a weekly tip shortfall within the selected scope. This floor scenario does not calculate pay at a higher agreed rate. Per-workday pay divides the week by the days with hours. Annual figures repeat the rounded weekly result.

Published 2027 off-ramp and home-care change

NY DOL’s 2027 table keeps the ordinary minimum at $17 in NYC,Long Island and Westchester and $16 elsewhere because an indexing off-ramp was triggered. Covered home-care aides instead move to $20 and $19. The form selects those actual dated amounts; a proposed change to the off-ramp is not treated as enacted.

How much is a year at New York minimum wage?

Full-cash schedule	NYC / Nassau / Suffolk / Westchester	Other counties
40-hour week	$680	$640
45-hour week with ordinary overtime	$807.50	$760
40 hours × 52 weeks	$35,360	$33,280
Monthly average of that annual amount	$2,946.67	$2,773.33
30 hours × 48 weeks	$24,480	$23,040

These are gross hourly-work scenarios, not exempt salaries or take-home pay. A workplace in Buffalo, Albany or Rochester uses the other-counties selection. Work location controls the rate, even if the employer’s main office is elsewhere. DOL location and minimum-wage FAQ.

Food service and other hospitality service use different tipped cash

Eligible food-service cash is $11.35 in the $17 region and $10.70 elsewhere. Other eligible hospitality service employees use $14.15 and $13.30 respectively. Delivery workers are not food-service workers under the hospitality definition. Fast-food and general non-hospitality selections do not offer a tip credit. 2026 tipped-worker fact sheet; CR 146 definitions.

For a qualifying NYC food-service worker, 40 hours and $100 tips require $126 extra employer cash: initial cash $454 plus $126 adjustment and $100 tips equals $680. At 45 hours and $500 tips, employer cash including overtime is $553.25 and gross is $1,053.25, before any spread-of-hours addition.

A service-employee tip threshold is not a small shortfall to top up

For restaurant/all-year-hotel service employees, average weekly tips must reach $3.65 per hour in the $17 region or $3.40 elsewhere before using the credit. Resort-hotel service thresholds are $9.55 and $9.00. If tips fall below the threshold, this calculator requires the full-cash option for that week. DOL service threshold table.

For example, 40 NYC service hours and $145.99 tips do not support the credit. Full cash is $680 and gross is $825.99. At $146 tips, the $3.65 average is met: cash can be $566 and gross $712, subject to all other conditions. For a NYC resort service employee, the corresponding 40-hour threshold is $382.

Spread of hours includes unpaid gaps

For covered restaurants and all-year hotels, a day spanning more than ten hours earns one extra hour at the full minimum. A day of exactly ten hours does not. The extra payment does not count as another hour worked for overtime. Enter the number of qualifying days; keep actual paid work in the hours field. CR 146 § 146-1.6.

A NYC food-service week of 40 actual hours, $100 tips and two qualifying long-span days therefore adds $34 employer cash and reaches $714 combined gross. Forty-five actual hours with two such days still has five overtime hours. The general, resort and home-care selections here are scoped to weeks without split-shift or spread premiums.

Mixed duties can remove an entire day’s tip credit

Under CR 146 § 146-2.9, two hours or more in a non-tipped occupation, or more than 20% of the shift, whichever is less, removes the credit for that day. The credit option here requires every entered day to remain eligible; it does not blend disqualified days into a weekly average. Call-in pay and uniform maintenance must also be handled separately where owed. Hospitality wage order.

Fast-food workers keep tips on top of full wages

The DOL fast-food fact sheet covers qualifying limited-service chains of 30 or more locations nationally, including relevant franchises. The 2026 regional rates match $17/$16. These workers retain ordinary weekly overtime and applicable call-in and spread-of-hours protections. At 40 NYC hours, $200 tips and one qualifying spread day, this model produces $697 employer wages and $897 gross. Fast-food fact sheet.

Qualifying home care aides have a higher floor

The 2026 home-care minimum is $19.65 in NYC, Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester and $18.65 elsewhere. This selection requires a qualifying nonresidential aide and ordinary 40-hour overtime coverage, with no extra call-in, spread, uniform or wage-parity amount. Forty-five hours yields $933.38 or $885.88. Residential work and additional Medicaid wage-parity obligations require separate treatment. Home-care definition, exclusions and rates.

Farm labor needs its own workweek and rest-day review

Farm workers have a 52-hour weekly overtime threshold in 2026 and additional protection for working their designated day of rest. This calculator’s ordinary 40-hour categories do not model farm work. Use DOL’s farm guidance and the actual rest-day schedule for that calculation. Farm Laborers Fair Labor Practices Act.
