As of January 1, the state has a new minimum wage of $8.60.
State law determines that the minimum wage be raised each year by either five percent or to match the Consumer Price Index, whichever is lower.
In restaurants, hotels and other businesses where workers reply on tips for part of their wages, the minimum wage is now $4.17. In neighboring New Hampshire, the minimum wage is at $7.25 with the tipped wage at $3.27.
Only Oregon and Washington have a higher state minimum wage than Vermont.
