Germany: statutory minimum wage rises to €13.90/hour
All employers with staff in Germany, including minijobs and working students.
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.

Budget the 2027 payroll increase now; re-check minijob hour limits against the new hourly rate; review any pay bands or apprentice-related minimums pegged to the statutory minimum.
