California salary and wage benchmarks - 2026
State median wages and minimum wage reference data
California salary and wage overview
California has one of the highest median salaries in the country at around $73,480 annually, but also one of the highest costs of living. California's minimum wage is $16.50 per hour in 2026. The San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles have significantly higher wages than the state median.
California tech workers in Silicon Valley command some of the highest salaries in the world. However California's high income taxes and cost of living mean that a $100,000 California salary may have less purchasing power than a $75,000 salary in a lower-cost, lower-tax state.
