List of minimum wages by country


This is a list of official minimum wage rates of the 193 United Nations member states, the Chinese special administrative region Hong Kong and the following states with limited recognition: Taiwan (Republic of China), Northern Cyprus, Kosovo, and Palestine.

Some countries may have a very complicated minimum wage system; for example, India has more than 1202 minimum wage rates.

The minimum wages given refer to a gross amount, that is before deduction of taxes and social security contributions, which vary from one country to another. Also excluded from calculations are regulated paid days off, including public holidays, sick pay, annual leave and social insurance contributions paid by the employer.

For the sake of comparison, an annual wage column is provided in international dollars, a hypothetical unit of currency calculated based on the purchasing power parity of household final consumption expenditure. For calculating the annual wage, the lowest general minimum wage was used.
