How the $3.02 tip credit works
The tipped cash wage is the standard minimum wage minus Florida’s maximum $3.02 tip credit. The employer remains responsible for ensuring wages plus tips meet the applicable minimum and for complying with notice and recordkeeping rules.
How this affects your paycheck
Minimum wage is gross pay, not take-home pay. Federal withholding, Social Security, Medicare and payroll deductions may still apply, while Florida individual income tax remains $0. Estimate a paycheck at the current hourly rate, or compare other rates in the Florida hourly pay guides.
