Connecticut: State Minimum Wage Increase

Effective January 1, 2027, the minimum wage in Connecticut will increase to $17.48 per hour. The adjustment is based on the rate of inflation, as measured by the percentage change in the U.S. Department of Labor Employment Cost Index for wages and salaries for all civilian workers from June 30, 2025, through June 30, 2026, rounded to the nearest cent.
