Montana Minimum Wage 2025 refers to the minimum hourly wage that employers in Montana must pay their employees, as set by law. In 2023, Montana’s minimum wage is $9.95 per hour, but it is scheduled to increase to $10.50 per hour on January 1, 2025.
Raising the minimum wage has several benefits for workers and the economy as a whole. First, it helps to ensure that workers are paid a fair wage for their labor. Second, it can help to reduce poverty and income inequality. Third, it can boost consumer spending and economic growth. Historically, Montana’s minimum wage has been lower than the federal minimum wage, but the state legislature voted to raise it to $10.50 per hour in 2023.
