For Immediate Release: Friday, February 28, 2025

The Montgomery County minimum wage will increase on July 1 to reflect the region’s inflation rate, as required by County law. For large employers (with 51 or more employees), the minimum wage will rise by 50 cents to $17.65 per hour. For mid-size employers (with 11-50 employees), the minimum wage will increase by 50 cents to $16 per hour; and for small employers (10 or fewer employees), the rate will go up by 50 cents to $15.50 per hour.

These adjustments are based on a 2.9 percent increase in the consumer price index for all urban wage earners and clerical workers in the Washington, D.C.-Arlington-Alexandria area in 2024, slightly higher than the 2.8 percent increase in 2023. The increase ensures the local minimum wage keeps pace with inflation.
