Minimum salary

  • A new methodology for determining minimum salaries has been implemented. In line with EU legislation, from 2025 the minimum wage will be determined by an indexation mechanism and be announced by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs no later than on 30 September for the following year.
  • The guaranteed salary grading (an additional "minimum" salary scaled according to the complexity of the given work) has been abolished as obsolete. Accordingly, from 1 August the only minimum salary amount which employers must adhere to is the minimum salary, determined and announced as above.
  • The proposed (not yet approved) level of the minimum salary is 42,2 % of the average salary, i.e. CZK 20 600 for 2025 and 43,4 % of the average salary, i.e. CZK 22 100 for 2026, compared to the current minimum level of CZK 18 900.
