Minimum wage

EUR/month

Minimum wages are enforced by law and apply nationwide to the majority of full-time employees in each country. Minimum wages are gross amounts, that is, before the deduction of income tax and social security contributions. Such deductions vary from country to country. For most countries, the minimum wage is agreed in terms of a monthly rate.
