Minimum wage in Slovenia

A statutory national minimum wage

Slovenia has a statutory minimum wage that is set by law and adjusted each year, and that stays linked to living costs. Supplements for night work or similar are paid on top.

Headline figure (second half of 2026)

1,482 EUR per month

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

Roughly US$1,661 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 minimum wage. The Minister adjusts it each year, taking account of the cost of living and the opinion of the social partners.

How it changes

It is adjusted each year to inflation and is reviewed from time to time by law.

Who is covered, and who is treated differently

Supplements for work at night, on holidays and overtime are paid on top of the minimum wage.

What to watch for

The figure is the gross monthly amount, excluding such supplements.

Understand the legal system first

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