Data on minimum wages referring to monthly national minimum wages are published by Eurostat bi-annually. The statistics reflect the situation on 1 January and 1 July of each year respectively. In a guiding article it is illustrated how minimum wage levels (gross amounts, before deduction of income tax and social security contributions) – established by legislation or by collective agreement – vary considerably among EU Member States. The report is available in all languages.
