Germany: statutory minimum wage rises to €14.60/hour

Ce qui change

The statutory minimum wage rises again on 1 January 2027, to €14.60 gross per hour, the second step confirmed by the same Fünfte Mindestlohnanpassungsverordnung (MiLoV5), published in the Bundesgesetzblatt on 2025-11-07. Unlike some earlier cycles, both the 2026 and 2027 steps are already fixed by regulation, not merely proposed.

Qui est concerné

All employers with staff in Germany, including minijobs and working students.
