Minimum-Wage.org

What Minimum-Wage.org does

Minimum-Wage.org is a privately held, US-domiciled informational website that publishes current minimum wage rates and state labor law information for all 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. It is owned and operated as a property of Marathon Studios / Woodsinn. The site serves two primary user groups: small business owners and employers seeking compliance guidance on minimum wage, overtime, child labor, break and meal period, tipped wage, and payday frequency rules, and hourly workers seeking to understand their wage and overtime entitlements. Product surface consists of a state-by-state minimum wage rates database, downloadable federal and state labor law posters, wage and overtime calculators, tipped employee wage information, state labor department contact directories, and educational FAQ/history content covering the Fair Labor Standards Act.

The underlying technology is a web-based information platform with a searchable, SEO-structured content library rather than a transactional or interactive product. No public API, SDK, mobile app, or AI/ML components are offered; the wage calculators appear to be rule-based. Distribution is digital-only and self-serve: users access content directly without registration, and the site supports community corrections via an error-reporting workflow. Marketing channels are primarily organic search, augmented by a Facebook presence and user-contributed data updates.

The business model is freemium in presentation but affiliate-driven in monetization. All content, calculators, and PDF poster downloads are provided free of charge. Revenue is generated exclusively through affiliate referral commissions when users purchase laminated all-in-one labor law compliance posters via LaborLawCenter.com and LaborPosters.org. No pricing tiers, subscription products, or direct billing relationship with end users exist. The asset functions as an SEO-led lead generation property feeding a small set of affiliate partners.
