Ontario Raising Minimum Wage to Support Workers

• Now more than ever, workers and businesses need fair, balanced and predictable wages.
• That’s why our government is supporting workers and businesses by increasing the minimum wage from $17.20 to $17.60 an hour, effective October 1, 2025.
• Ontario’s minimum wage remains one of the highest in the country.
• A worker making the general minimum wage and working 40 hours per week will see an annual pay increase of up to $835.00 as a result of these changes.
• Over the past seven years, Ontario’s minimum wage has increased from $14 per hour in 2018 to $17.60 later this year.
• This increase is just one of the ways the government is supporting Ontario workers and helping make Ontario the best place to work, live and raise a family.
