How much does a 14-year-old make at McDonald's?

By Zippia Team - Nov. 10, 2021

A 14-year-old working at McDonald's will make around $10 an hour. While McDonald's hires people as young as fourteen in some locations (depending on state laws), 14-year-olds have a limited ability to take on shifts.

The maximum hours of work for 14- and 15-year-old employees is 8 hours a day and 40 hours per week when school is not in session, but only 3 hours per day when school is in session.

If a 14-year-old works at McDonald's for one full year, they make just under $14,000 a year in pre-tax salary. This can increase as a teenager gets older, achieves salary increases, and can work more hours.

Overall, it is beneficial for a teenager to spend time earning their own money and learning about financial responsibility and work ethic but should avoid, if possible, working too many hours that prevent them from gaining other relevant life experience.
