Minimum wages reflect each country's cost of living, economic development, labor market conditions, and social policy priorities. Wealthier nations with higher costs of living typically have higher minimum wages, while developing countries may have lower rates but also lower living costs.

The data is sourced from official government sources and international organizations. However, minimum wages change frequently. This tool is for general comparison purposes. Always verify current rates with official sources for specific countries.

The side-by-side comparison is limited to 5 countries for clarity. However, you can use the sortable table to compare all countries at once, and you can change your selection of 5 countries at any time.
