The City of Las Cruces Minimum Wage will increase on Jan . 1 , 2024 , from $12 . 00 to $12 . 36 an hour . The minimum hourly wage for tipped employees will increase from $4 . 78 to $4 . 95 an hour , pursuant to the Las Cruces Municipal Code ( LCMC ) .
   In 2014 , the City enacted ordinance
   2726which established a minimum wage , tipped wage , and annual increases for Las Cruces . From 2015 - 2019 , each year the amount of the minimum wage was a set number but for 2020 and beyond , both the minimum wage and tipped wage increases were tied to the Consumer Price Index ( CPI ) , as per the ordinance .
   Effective January 1 , 2020 , the State of New Mexico enacted the New Mexico Minimum Wage Act .  
   Each year in September , the City calculates the minimum wage and tipped wage based on the City ordinance as adjusted by the CPI and compares it to the minimum wage and tipped wage set by the State of New Mexico; The City adopts the higher of the two . In 2020 , the City minimum wage was higher than the State so the City adopted the City minimum wage; from 2021 - 2023 the State minimum wage had been higher so the City adopted the State ' s number . The tipped wage as calculated by the City ordinance has always been higher than the State so that is what has been adopted .
   In 2024 , the State ' s minimum wage is scheduled to remain at $12 . 00 an hour . The City however , will adopt the minimum wage based on the City ordinance because it is higher than the State ' s wage .
