The following list provides information relating to the minimum wages (gross) of countries in Europe.[1][2]
The calculations are based on the assumption of a 40-hour working week and a 52-week year, with the exceptions of France (35 hours),[3] San Marino (37.5 hours),[4] Belgium (38 hours),[5] United Kingdom (38 hours),[3] Germany (38 hours),[6] Ireland (39 hours)[6] and Monaco (39 hours).[7] Most minimum wages are fixed at a monthly rate, but some countries set their minimum wage at an hourly rate or annual rate.
The map below shows monthly adult minimum (after tax, social charges & deductions) income; some countries have a lower rate for under-25-year-olds.
Purple | above €1,000 |
Light blue | €500 to €1,000 |
Yellow | €250 to €499 |
Red | below €250 |
Countries marked on the map in dark red do not have a minimum wage.
