Did you know, that minimum wage in Belgium consistently ranks among the highest in the EU?

While many countries in Europe either have a national minimum wage or set wages on an industry level through collective agreements, Belgium’s minimum wages operate on both levels. 
The government reviews the minimum wage in Belgium bi-annually, and it consistently ranks among the highest in the EU. Committees across different sectors agree on the minimum wage in Belgium, meaning wage legislation varies between industries. For industries that don’t have a minimum wage set by their committees, the nationwide Belgian minimum wage applies. 

The minimum wage in 2019 is €1,593.80 a month, or €19,126 a year (taking into account 12 pay periods). This marks a 2% rise (around €31 a month) on 2018’s level.
