Minimum wage in Slovakia

A statutory national minimum wage

Slovakia has a national minimum wage that the law links to the average wage, and the Government sets it by regulation. Higher floors apply to jobs graded as more demanding.

Headline figure (second half of 2026)

915 EUR per month

Eurostat's gross, full-time monthly figure; 13th and 14th-month payments are spread over twelve months.

Roughly US$1,025 a month for a full-time worker, at exchange rates of 2026-10-09. This is a rough comparison only and does not show buying power.

Check the date. Minimum wages change, in many countries every year. The figure above is the one in force at the date shown. Confirm the current amount with the official source below before you rely on it. This is general information, not legal or employment advice.

Who sets it

A law sets the method and the Government sets the amount by regulation each year, following a legal formula linked to the average wage and consultation with the social partners.

How it changes

It is reviewed each year, with the formula and the social partners' views guiding the amount.

Who is covered, and who is treated differently

Jobs are graded by difficulty and a higher minimum applies to the more demanding grades.

What to watch for

Check the current regulation, which sets the exact amounts.

Understand the legal system first

Slovakia belongs to the Civil law family. How pay is regulated depends on how the legal system makes and applies labour law.
