Minimum wage in Croatia

Minimum wage in Croatia is regulated by the Minimum Wage Act (Croatian: Zakon o minimalnoj plaći) and is defined as the lowest gross monthly wage for a full-time worker, based on a 40-hour work week.[1][2] For workers who do not work full time, minimum wage is lower, in proportion to their working hours.[1] Additional compensation for overtime work, night work, and work on Sundays and holidays is not included in the minimum wage.[1] Minimum wage is recalculated once a year and is effective throughout the next calendar year.[3]

Croatia's gross minimum monthly wage for a full-time employee is €970, effective from January 1, 2025.[4] 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,[5] down from c. 80,000 in 2014.[6]
