List of European countries by minimum wage
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 (38.1 hours),[3] Ireland (39 hours),[3] Monaco (39 hours),[6] and Germany (39.1 hours).[3] Most of minimum wages are fixed at a monthly rate, but there are countries where minimum wage is fixed at an hourly rate or weekly rate.
Minimum wages by country (European countries) - Maps
European countries on the net minimum wage:
Countries marked on the map in dark blue have a minimum wage in the range from €1,000 and above, in light blue - from €500 to €1,000, in yellow - from €300 to €500, in red - below €300. Countries marked on the map in purple do not have a minimum wage.
European countries on the gross minimum wage:
Countries marked on the map in dark blue have a minimum wage in the range from €1,400 and above, in light blue - from €700 to €1,400, in yellow - from €400 to €700, in red - below €400. Countries marked on the map in purple do not have a minimum wage.
The difference between the gross income and the net income ratio is given by the percentage of income taxes. For example, even if a Slovakian citizen has a gross minimum income higher than a Czech, in reality the first will receive less money than the second because of higher income taxes.
