In nordic countries we technically dont have any minimum wage because of
1. If you dont have any, no company can lay on the lowest as possible
2.Union makes it impossible to make you earn low, and if someone comes out that they earned low, the union is suing the company to pay more.

These maps are all based on different working weeks. Some calculate using a 35 hour week whilst others base on 39, or anything in between.
The Netherlands has a higher minimum wage rate than Ireland, but the hours used to calculate the working week here are fewer than used in Ireland’s calculation.

2279 € sounds very high as a minimum.

Why Luxembourg so high paying?

There is an 8% holiday allowance in the Netherlands that is not included. In addition, the amount differs by €4. It would be €2430 per month if you divide the total annual gross income by 12, assuming a 40 hours per week.

Slovenia’s minimum wage from jan 2026 to dec 2026 is **1.481,88 gross.** The one stated is 2025. On top of it, the worker is compensated with the untaxed lunch money and bus ticket / gasoline (depends). So it s usually additional 100 euros per month (to the whatever is neto) in my experience (but ok, it s hard to compare, just worth mentioning, that usually just looking at monthly gross isnt the whole story).

this is useless…..this is wage before taxes
For example, Greece says 1,027 euro (its False, its actually **880** **)** but the money that goes into your pocket is around 700 euro (automatic reduction of taxes etc).
(all while rent on average in any area with non-~~slave~~labour jobs, is 500+ euro)
How much of Germany’s 2,161 euro goes into the worker’s pocket?
Could be 2000 with low taxes, could be 1000 with high taxes/holdings etc
that would be informative

It is not quite correct to say that the UK introduced a minimum wage in 1909.
Parliament passed a bill creating boards that could set minimum wages for certain industries – it was not applicable to everyone working. Something similar applies in many of the countries marked N/A on the map.
The minimum wage as we understand it was not introduced in the UK until 1998 and even then there were lower rates for younger workers.

There’s no minimum wage in the Nordics, because minimum wages are negotiated between unions by sector basis, and law prevents paying lower salary even if the company isn’t in the union of their respective business sector.

The pre-tax figure is kinda useless. Also, the percentage of people earning it varies quite a bit.
In Czechia, it’s 3%.
In Poland… 27%.

The collective agreements in, for instance Finland, cover branches of business such as healthcare, storage work, the trade sector etc.
So, a nurse will have a certain wage chart, a stock worker another, and a salesperson a third, each with their minimum levels that practically act in the role of a minimum wage for that sector.

As an accountant who does salary calculations in Slovenie – it’s not correct, no matter whether you consider the numbers as gross salary or net salary.

I open this thread and I am not disappointed. Obligatory:
1. This sucks because it does not show what you can buy with it
2. This is incorrect because X country has/does not have minimum wage
3. This sucks bc its PPP and its useless
4 this sucks bc it is before tax
5. This sucks because people at different age have different minimum wage
6. This sucks because….

In Turkiye, the net minimum wage is 28,075.50 TL (632.88 USD), while the gross minimum wage is 33,030.00 TL (744.58 USD). However, due to the continuous rise in the dollar exchange rate, it decreases towards the end of the year until the new minimum wage is announced.

The methodology isn’t standard. Take Estonia and Lithuania for example. The Estonian number is after the social tax has been paid while the Lithuanian number is before the social tax is paid. It’s a 33% difference…
