NATIONAL (14 European countries) Official statistic Source: Eurostat earn_mw_cur · Data: latest semester available per country

Eurostat publishes a monthly statutory minimum wage for countries that have one set by law. Countries without a national statutory minimum (for example the Nordic countries, which rely on collective agreements), and countries outside Eurostat's table, show no figure here: we do not estimate.
