Minimum wage in Croatia

Minimum wage in Croatia is regulated by the Minimum Wage Act and is defined as the lowest gross monthly wage for a full-time worker, based on a 40-hour work week. For workers who do not work full time, minimum wage is lower, in proportion to their working hours. Additional compensation for overtime work, night work, and work on Sundays and holidays is not included in the minimum wage. Minimum wage is recalculated once a year and is effective throughout the next calendar year.
Croatia's gross minimum monthly wage for a full-time employee is €970, effective from January 1, 2025. This rate is updated annually by the Croatian government to reflect economic changes and includes mandatory employer contributions.
In January 2018, minimum wage was received by 45,245 workers, down from c. 80,000 in 2014.
