The federal minimum cash wage for tipped employees is $2.13 per hour as of 2026; employers must ensure tips plus cash wage equal at least $7.25 per hour or make up the difference. This rule applies to servers, bartenders, and bussers who customarily receive more than $30 per month in tips. Tip pooling is allowed if it benefits tipped employees only.
