Today, families and individuals work in jobs where they may/may not make enough income to meet minimum standards of living in their community. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) developed the Living Wage Calculator to help individuals, communities, employers, and others estimate the local wage rate that a full-time worker requires to cover the costs of their family’s basic needs where they live. Explore the living wage in your county, metro area, or state for 12 different family types at the link provided.  

View the calculator as a baseline for understanding the minimum living wage for basic needs in your area of the state. The data was last updated on February 10, 2025.
