Colorado Minimum Wage: $15.16 per hour in 2026, updated yearly (COMPS Rule 3):

• Must pay at least minimum wage for all time worked, whether by hour, salary, commission, piece rate, etc.
• Use the highest minimum wage applicable; ColoradoLaborLaw.gov lists all local minimum wages
• 15% lower is allowed for unemancipated minors — but not for some local minimum wages
