About This Dataset

Countries by Monthly Statutory Minimum Wage 2024

Countries ranked by statutory national minimum wage converted to USD per month at 2024 exchange rates, according to ILO and OECD data. Luxembourg has the world's highest statutory minimum wage, ensuring workers receive the equivalent of over $2,800 per month — a floor that reflects the country's extraordinary cost of living, strong labour protections, and an economy dominated by high-margin financial services and European Union institutions.
