The following list provides information relating to the minimum wages of countries in Europe.

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),[1] San Marino (37.5 hours)[citation needed], Belgium (38 hours)[citation needed], United Kingdom (38.1 hours),[1] Ireland (39 hours),[1] Romania (39 hours)[citation needed], Monaco (39 hours),[2] Turkey (45 hours) and Germany (39.1 hours)[1].

Most of minimum wages are fixed at a monthly rate, but there are countries where minimum wage is fixed at a hourly rate or weekly rate.
