Rule details
Does Minnesota require daily overtime, weekly overtime, or both?
Minnesota generally follows the federal weekly overtime rule for most covered nonexempt employees. Overtime is usually paid at 1.5× the regular rate after 40 hours worked in a workweek. Minnesota does not have a general daily overtime rule for most private-sector employees. Use the calculator above to estimate regular pay, overtime pay, and total gross pay.

Minnesota overtime rules in 2026
Minnesota's 2026 minimum wage is $11.41/hour for all employers, and Minnesota does not allow a tip credit. For overtime, the important intent match is the split: federal FLSA coverage usually triggers overtime after 40 hours, while Minnesota state-only overtime applies after 48 hours in a seven-day period.
Pay situations specific to Minnesota
These are the Minnesota rules that change the overtime math. For the federal rules that apply everywhere — the duties test, what counts toward the regular rate, and how the 40-hour workweek is measured — see the FLSA overtime guide. For how these estimates are produced and reviewed, see the calculator methodology.
Minnesota salaried employees can still be non-exempt. Duties, salary basis, and coverage determine whether overtime is owed.
Salaried overtime calculatorMinnesota does not allow a tip credit. Tipped employees must be paid at least the full $11.41/hour state minimum wage in direct wages, plus tips.
Tipped overtime calculatorMinnesota overtime still requires a regular-rate analysis when pay includes shift differentials, non-discretionary bonuses, commissions, piece rates, or multiple hourly rates.
Regular rate of pay calculatorMinnesota follows the federal 40-hour weekly standard, with no general state daily overtime rule for most private-sector employees.
