Summary
$18.40 an hour becomes D.C.’s new minimum wage on July 1, up from $17.95, while tipped workers’ base pay rises from $10 to $10.30.
The increase takes effect under scheduled wage law changes, and employers must make up any shortfall if tips do not lift workers to the standard minimum wage on average.
The pay hike is part of a broader July 1 rollout of new laws across the Washington region, including Virginia and Maryland measures on housing, schools, criminal records and policing.
