Payroll impact of phasing out the tipped subminimum wage in Montgomery County, 2024–2028

Each year's impact refers to the 12 months beginning in July. For example, "2024" refers to the period July 2024 to June 2025. The 2028 estimate understates the true impact because it does not include future inflation adjustments to the local full minimum wage.
