How it works
1. Address to jurisdiction
The US Census Bureau geocoder tells us whether an address is inside a city or in an unincorporated county area. This catches cases where the mailing city differs from the actual jurisdiction (for example, Rowland Heights and Hacienda Heights are unincorporated Los Angeles County).
2. Official sources only
The state rate comes from the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). Local rates come from each city or county's official page. Every page lists the source link and the date it was checked.
3. Email before an increase
We email 30, 7 and 1 day before the January 1 and July 1 increases. One address is free; several locations are covered by Pro.
- Up to 10 store addresses, each with its applicable rate, next increase date and amount
- Email alerts 30, 7 and 1 day before each increase (state, city and county)
- Notice when an ordinance changes or a 2027 rate is posted, plus the exempt salary threshold and fast food rate
- Cancel anytime. Payment is handled by Stripe; we do not store card details.
