Portugal’s monthly minimum wage is increased to 635 euros for 2020, up from 600 euros for 2019, as per the decree (Portuguese) published in its gazette.
The official monthly minimum wage is designed to accommodate 14 payments per year to employees, including a Christmas bonus and vacation bonus each equivalent to one month’s wages. An unofficial, but commonly accepted, monthly minimum wage based on 12 payments to employees is determined by multiplying the official monthly minimum wage by 14 and dividing by 12.
