$7.25

What is the minimum wage in South Carolina?

The South Carolina minimum wage follows the federal minimum wage rate of $7.25 per hour. Employers are required to pay their employees at least the federal minimum wage, and if a state minimum wage is higher than the federal rate, employers must pay the higher state rate. Employers are also required to pay their employees for overtime at a rate of one and one-half times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek.

However, it's important to note that the South Carolina minimum wage laws can change over time, so it is advisable to always stay up to date with the latest minimum wage data to make sure that you are competitive when it comes to hourly employee pay.
