California's minimum wage will rise from $16.90 to $17.40 an hour on Jan. 1, 2027, making it the highest in the country. The increase, driven by annual inflation adjustments, will put California's baseline wage at nearly two and a half times the federal minimum wage of $7.24 per hour. The increase is part of a series of annual bumps to California's wage floor, tied to inflation and following legislation signed in 2016.
