List of minimum wages by country

Map showing the minimum wages by country.

The list below gives the official minimum wage rates in 197 countries and territories: 192 United Nations member states (does not include South Sudan, which gained independence in July 2011), plus the Republic of China (Taiwan), Northern Cyprus, Hong Kong, Kosovo and Western Sahara. Some countries are more effective than others at enforcing these regulations, so that the effective minimum wage may be lower than the official one. Some countries may have a very complicated minimum wage system, for example, India has more than 1200 minimum wage rates.[1]

The minimum wages given refer to a gross amount, i.e. 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 and annual leave.

For the sake of comparison, an "annual wage" column is provided in international dollars, a hypothetical unit of currency that has the same purchasing power that the U.S. dollar had in the United States in 2011. For calculating the annual wage, the lowest general minimum wage was used.

Minimum wages by country [edit]

Note: To convert the gross annual wage to a different currency, go to [6], locate your desired currency's country of origin and then multiply the number next to the country's name by the annual gross wage in this article's table. This is necessary, because the annual wages are in international dollars, not market U.S. dollars. Note, however, that the purchasing power used here is for GDP and may differ from a private consumer purchasing power.

 Germany None; except for construction workers, electrical workers, janitors, roofers, painters, and letter carriers. Minimum wage is often set by collective bargaining agreements in other sectors of the economy and enforceable by law[8]

However, the law states that paying a worker an "immoral wage" is illegal. There is no general consensus what constitutes "immoral" payment. One judge at a court in Krefeld, Germany, ruled that a cashier at a supermarket has to earn the equivalent of approximately 7USD per hour. The federal courts in Germany ruled that any wage lower than 75% of the average wage or salary for a specific occupation constitutes illegal payment. However, since there is no well defined legal minimum wage as of February 2013, courts are usually the ones who have the final say and will only rule for individual cases.[40]
