The Fifth Minimum Wage Adjustment Ordinance sets the general statutory minimum wage at EUR 13.90 gross per hour from January 2026. EUR 14.60 applies from January 2027.

What does this mean in practice?

The hourly wage calculator uses EUR 13.90 as its 2026 benchmark. The conversion between hourly and monthly pay is unchanged. It does not individually assess sector-specific minimum rates or statutory exceptions.
